Abstract
This paper presents an efficient method for solving time delay two-point boundary value problems. A combination of the Continuous Runge-Kutta method and the Newton shooting method has been used for solving this problem. The efficiency, high accuracy and the rate of convergence of the proposed method are illustrated by an example.
