Abstract

A singularly perturbed semilinear convection-diffusion problem is considered. The leading term is multiplied by a small positive parameter ε. The solution to this problem exhibits boundary layer at the left end of the domain. To solve this problem numerically, we develop a B-spline collocation method on a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh. The error analysis is given and the method is proved to be almost second-order convergent in the maximum norm uniformly in ε. Numerical results are presented in support of the theory.
