Fitted Mesh Methods for the Singularly Perturbed Reaction Diffusion
Problem, October 1996
In this paper it is shown that a piecewise
uniform mesh
can be constructed on which the standard centered finite difference
operator
for this equation gives approximations which converge in the maximum
norm to
the exact solution, independently of the singular perturbation
parameter. It
is also shown that the piecewise linear interpolants of these
approximations
have the same property at each point of the domain.
G.I.Shishkin,
Finite Difference Approximations of Boundary Value Problems
with Regular Boundary Layers, Part 3, November 1996
Finite difference approximations of singularly
perturbed boundary value problems for elliptic equations with regular boundary
layers are considered. When a parameter multiplying the highest-order
derivatives equals zero, the elliptic equations degenerate into first order
equations. A method of constructing uniformly convergent (with respect to the
singular perturbation parameter) finite difference schemes is presented. All
the finite difference schemes presented here are monotonic. These schemes
converge uniformly with first order accuracy.
