Abstract

A system of coupled singularly perturbed initial value problems with two small parameters is considered. The leading term of each equation is multiplied by a small positive parameter, but these parameters may have different magnitudes. The solution of the system has boundary layers that overlap and interact. The structure of these layers is analyzed, and this leads to the construction of a piecewise-uniform mesh that is a variant of the usual Shishkin mesh. On this mesh a hybrid finite difference scheme is proved to be almost second-order accurate, uniformly in both small parameters. Numerical results supporting the theory are presented.
