A new computational method for solving the nucleon-deuteron
breakup scattering problem has been applied to study the
elastic neutron- and proton-deuteron scattering on the basis
of the configuration-space Faddeev-Noyes-Noble-Merkuriev
equations. This method is based on the spline-decomposition
in the angular variable and on a generalization of the
Numerov method for the hyperradius. The
Merkuriev-Gignoux-Laverne approach has been generalized for
arbitrary nucleon-nucleon potentials and with an arbitrary
number of partial waves. The nucleon-deuteron observables
at the incident nucleon energy 3 MeV have been calculated
using the charge-independent AV14 nucleon-nucleon potential
including the Coulomb force for the proton-deuteron scattering.
Results have been compared with those of other authors
and with experimental proton-deuteron scattering data.
