Reproducing kernel method for singularly perturbed turning point problems having twin boundary layers

A numerical method is proposed for solving singularly perturbed turning point problems exhibiting twin boundary layers based on the reproducing kernel method (RKM). The original problem is reduced to two boundary layers problems and a regular domain problem. The regular domain problem is solved by using the RKM. Two boundary layers problems are treated by combining the method of stretching variable and the RKM. The boundary conditions at transition points are obtained by using the continuity of the approximate solution and its first derivatives at these points. Two numerical examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the present method. The results compared with other methods show that the present method can provide very accurate approximate solutions.
