High order parameter-robust numerical method for singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems

We present a high order parameter-robust finite difference method for singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems. The problem is discretized using a suitable combination of fourth order compact difference scheme and central difference scheme on generalized Shishkin mesh. The convergence analysis is given and the method is proved to be almost fourth order uniformly convergent in maximum norm with respect to singular perturbation parameter εε. Numerical experiments are conducted to demonstrate the theoretical results.
