Numerical analysis of singularly perturbed delay differential equations with layer behavior.
(English)
[J] Appl. Math. Comput. 157, No. 1, 11-28 (2004). ISSN 0096-3003

The problem under consideration is the singularly perturbed boundary value problem (BVP) for the delay differential equation $$\varepsilon y''(x)+a(x)y'(x-\delta)+b(x)y(x)=f(x), \quad 0 < x < 1,$$ under the boundary conditions $${y(x)}=\phi(x),\quad -\delta\leq x\leq 0, \quad y(1)=\gamma,$$ where $\varepsilon$ and $\delta$ are small positive parameters. The stated BVP for the delay differential equation is approximated by one for the ordinary differential equation (ODE), created by replacing the retarded term $y'(x-\delta)$ by its first order Taylor approximation $y'(x)-\delta y''(x)$. The approximate BVP for the ODE is approximated by a standard three points difference scheme. The stability and convergence of the method is discussed for two cases corresponding to the location the boundary layer, on the left side (when $a(x)>0$) and on the right (when $a(x)< 0$). Numerical examples are presented.
