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 taken into account. 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.
