The Newton scheme is proposed to linearize the nonlinear system into the form of linear system. On top of that, we also present the basic formulation and implementation of Newton-HSSOR iterative method. For comparison purpose, combinations between the Full-Sweep Gauss-Seidel (FSGS) and Full-Sweep Successive Over-Relaxation (FSSOR) iterative methods with Newton scheme, which are indicated as Newton-FSGS and Newton-FSSOR methods respectively have been implemented numerically. Numerical experiments of two problems are given to illustrate that the Newton-HSSOR method is more superior compared with the tested methods. © 2014 AIP Publishing LLC. %K Boundary value problems; Linear systems; Nonlinear equations; Nonlinear systems; Numerical methods, Basic formulation; Finite difference approximations; Fourth-order scheme; Gauss-Seidel; Numerical experiments; SOR iteration; Successive over relaxation; Two-point boundary value problem, Iterative methods
