A few things jump out at me from your code as potential problems. You seem to be using Newton's method separately for the $y_1$ and $y_2$ variables. This is not the same as using Newton's method for a nonlinear system involving both $y_1$ and $y_2$. For the full Newton method, you'll be solving a 2x2 linear system at every step. You'll have to calculate not ...

The series that converges to $\ln(2)$ appears to be suitable for Cohen-Villegas-Zagier acceleration [PDF]. This is an acceleration technique for alternating series, but continued fractions with positive positive partial numerators and denominators are equivalent to alternating series. In particular, if $S_m$ is the $m$-th continued fraction approximant, then ...

You can de-singularize Riccati equations $y'=y^2+a$ by setting $y=-\frac{u'}{u}$ to get $u''+au=0$. If $a$ is continuous on the integration interval, the solution will be well-behaved on that interval. Solving with $u(0)=1$ and $u'(0)=-y(0)=-2$ gives the plot with a root of $u$ and thus a singularity of $y$ at about $t=0.35230$. In any numerical integration,...
