A uniformly convergent numerical method on non-uniform mesh for singularly perturbed unsteady Burgers-Huxley equation (Q2470179)

The authors present a numerical method which deals with the solvability of initial boundary value problem and related general properties of singularly perturbed Burgers-Huxley equation with a very small positive parameter in the highest order derivative term. The scheme is obtained by discretizing the time variable using the Euler implicit method with a constant time step and further linearizing the semidiscrete problem using the quasi-linerization process followed by spatial discretization using upwind finite difference operator on a piecewise uniform mesh. An extensive amount of analysis is carried out that uses a suitable decomposition of the error into smooth and singular component and a comparison principle combined with appropriate barrier functions. The error estimates are obtained, which ensures uniform convergence of the method. Numerical experiments are conducted in support of the predicted theory which validates the theoretical results computationally.
