This paper focuses on the derivation of diagonally implicit two-point block backward differentia- tion formulas DI2BBDF for solving first-order initial value problem IVP with two fixed points. The method approximates the solution at two points simultaneously. The implementation and the stability of the proposed method are also discussed. A performance of the DI2BBDF is compared with the existing methods. 1. Introduction Most real life problems that arise in various fields of study such as engineering or science are constructed as mathematical models before they are solved. These models often lead to differential equations. A differential equation can simply be defined as an equation that
