A Hybrid Difference Scheme for a Second-Order Singularly Perturbed Reaction-Diffusion Problem with Non-smooth Data

Abstract

A singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problem with a discontinuous source term is considered. In Miller et al. (J Appl Numer Math 35(4):323-337, 2000) the authors discussed problems that arises naturally in the context of models of simple semiconductor devices. Due to the discontinuity, interior layers appear in the solution. The problem is solved using a hybrid difference scheme on a Shishkin mesh. We prove that the method is second order convergent in the maximum norm, independently of the diffusion parameter. Numerical experiments support these theoretical results and indicate that the estimates are sharp.

A parameter robust higher order numerical method for singularly perturbed two parameter problems with non-smooth data

“…This cause severe hurdles in the computations for classical numerical methods. In order to capture the layers, a large number of special purpose methods have been developed by the researchers to provide accurate 15 numerical solutions which cover second order equations with single parameter for smooth [1,2,3] and non smooth data [4,5,6,7,8]. In recent years, authors have considered singularly perturbed second order ordinary differential equation with two small parameters (ε, µ) in smooth data [9,10,11,12] and have considered non-smooth data [13,14].…”

“…Motivated by the works of [5,14,23], we have considered a singularly per-40 turbed reaction-convection-diffusion equation in one dimension with a discontinuous source term of the form:…”

Fitted Mesh Method for Singularly Perturbed Robin Type Boundary Value Problem with Discontinuous Source Term

“…Note that problems with discontinuous data were treated theoretically, in the case of the solution of the convection diffusion with Dirichlet case problem [3,4]. In [5][6][7][8] the authors discussed a self-adjoint Dirichlet type problem with discontinuous source term. Shanthi et al has examined two parameter singularly perturbed BVPs for second order ODEs with discontinuous source term in [9][10][11].…”

“…Motivated by the works of [3][4][5][6] we, in the present paper, develop a computational method to solve SPBVPs for second order equations of the type:…”
