## Abstract A hybrid method for computing the flow of viscoelastic and secondβorder fluids is presented. It combines the features of the finite difference technique and the shooting method. The method is accurate because it uses central differences. Its convergence is at least superlinear. The met

β¦ Synopsis
A fourth-order predictor-corrector method is developed for obtaining the numerical solution of a class of singular boundary value problems in which the highest derivative is further multiplied by a parameter which can take arbitrarily small values. First, the method is tested on a prototype linear differential equation. It is then used to compute the two-dimensional stagnation point flow of a viscoelastic fluid. Finally, the flow over a stretching sheet is computed for which an exact solution exists. The comparison of the results shows that the method gives highly accurate results for a moderately sized integration step
