Uniformly convergent nonstandard finite difference methods for self-adjoint singular perturbation problems (Q2488886)

Nonstandard finite difference schemes for self-adjoint singularly perturbed two-point boundary value problems are designed. Essential physical properties (e.g. dissipativity) of the solutions of such problems are captured in the schemes by an appropriate renormalization of the denominator of the discrete derivative. The schemes are analyzed for \(\epsilon\)-uniform convergence. Several numerical examples are given to support the predicted theory.
