It is shown that under natural assumptions on given functions, there exist Chaplyghin sequences and they are convergent. Error estimates for approximate solutions are given. The method of characteristics is used for the construction of approximate solutions. KW - characteristics KW - Newton method KW - Chaplyghin sequences KW - initial problems SN - 1232-9274 ER -
