Valanarasu, T.; Ramanujam, N.
Asymptotic initial-value method for second-order singular perturbation problems of reaction-diffusion type with discontinuous source term. (English)

The authors consider the boundary value problem (BVP) $$-\varepsilon u''(x)+a(x)u(x)=-f(x),\quad x \in (0,d) \cup (d,1),\quad u(0)=p,\quad u(1)=q,$$ where $\varepsilon$ is a small parameter, $a(x)\geq\alpha>0$ a smooth function, $f(x)$ is a sufficient smooth function on $[0,\;d)$ and $(d,\;1]$ which has a discontinuity at $d$. The solution of this singular BVP problem has, as a rule, two boundary and one interior layers. It is shown, that the solution can be approximated by the solution of the degenerated equation (with $\varepsilon=0$), i.e. $u_0(x)=f(x)/a(x)$, and solutions of four auxiliary problems for equations of first order: two initial value problems on $(0,\;d)$ and two terminal value problems on $(d,\;1)$. For the numerical solution of the auxiliary problems the fitted mesh method is used. Two numerical examples are presented.
