In this article, a new scheme inspired from collocation method is presented for numerical solution of stiff initial-value problems and Fredholm integral equations of the first kind based on the derivatives of residual function. Then, the error analysis of this method is investigated by presenting an error bound. Numerical comparisons indicate that the presented method yields accur...
