    Abstract:
    A class of quasilinear, singularly-perturbed, two-point, boundary value problems for second-order, ordinary differential equations without interior turning points is considered. To solve these problems Newton's method of quasilinearization is adopted. Then the resultant linear problems are solved by a numerical method. This method is a combination of an exponentially-fitted finite difference method and a classical numerical method. Further, it is based on the boundary value technique generally used to solve singularly-perturbed boundary value problems. Error estimates for the numerical solution of linear problems are stated. Some examples are given to illustrate the method
