The method of quasilinearization, coupled with the method of upper and lower solutions, is applied to a boundary value problem for an ordinary differential equation with impulse that has a unique solution. The method generates sequences of approximate solutions which converge monotonically and quadratically to the unique solution. In this work, we allow nonlinear terms with respect to velocity; in particular, Nagumo conditions are employed.
