Abstract
In this paper we introduce a class of explicit numerical methods for approximating the solutions of scalar initial value problems for first order differential equations, using a nonlinear interpolation formula. We show that the methods generated in this way can be identified as explicit Runge-Kutta methods and we analyze some particular cases. Finally, numerical examples are provided.
