Abstract

An iterative numerical method is constructed for a coupled system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion-reaction two-point boundary value problems. It combines a standard finite difference operator with a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh, and uses a Jacobi-type iteration to compute a solution. Under certain assumptions on the coefficients in the differential equations, a bound on the maximum-norm error in the computed solution is established; this bound is independent of the values of the singular perturbation parameter. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance of the numerical method.
