Problems of parameter estimation in ordinary differential equations, where data from different experimental situations (the dynamical behaviour, stable an $$y(a)=\alpha$$ is equivalent to the integral equation $y(t)=\alpha +\int^{t}_{a}f(s,y(s))ds,\quad t\in [a,b].$ The author formulates and analyzes integrand-approximation formulas, each of which can be written in the form $(2)\quad y_{\tau}(t)=\alpha +\int^{t}_{a}A_{\tau}[f(.,y_{\tau}(\cdot))](s)ds,\quad t\in [a,b],$ for the numerical solutions of the initial value problem (1). $$A_{\tau}[f(\cdot,y_{\tau}(\cdot))]$$ (s) in (2) is an approximation to $$f(s,y_{\tau}(s))$$, and the index $$\tau$$ is associated with the particular stepsize and order sequence used in the numerical integration. Here $$A_{\tau}$$ is a linear operator. The formulation (2) enables the author to apply many of the theorems for differential equations and the techniques of functional analysis to study the convergence of $$y_{\tau}$$ to y.
