%X In this paper, we approach the problem of obtaining approximate solution of second-order initial value problems by converting it to an optimization problem. It is assumed that the solution can be approximated by a polynomial. The coefficients of the polynomial are then optimized using simulated annealing technique. Numerical examples with good results show the accuracy of the proposed approach compared with some existing methods.
