Abstract. A singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation is posed in a two-dimensional L-shaped domain Ω subject to a continuous Dirchlet boundary condition. Its solutions are in the Hölder space C 2/3 (Ω) and typically exhibit boundary layers and corner singularities. The problem is discretized on a tensor-product Shishkin mesh that is further refined in a neighboorhood of the vertex of angle 3π/2. We establish almost second-order convergence of our numerical method in the discrete maximum norm, uniformly in the small diffusion parameter. Numerical results are presented that support our theoretical error estimate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
