Abstract
In the present study we consider an example of a boundary value problem for a simple second order ordinary differential equation, which may exhibit a boundary layer phenomenon depending on the value of a free parameter. To this equation we apply an adaptive numerical method on redistributed grids. We show that usual central finite differences, which are second order accurate on a uniform grid, can be substantially upgraded to the fourth order by a suitable choice of the underlying non-uniform grid. Moreover, we show also that some other choices of the nodes distributions lead to substantial degradation of the accuracy. This example is quite pedagogical and we use it only for illustrative purposes. It may serve as a guidance for more complex problems.
