Global maximum norm parameter-uniform numerical method for a singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with discontinuous convec\-tion coefficient (Q2486777)

The paper deals with the following singularly perturbed boundary value problem of second order \[ \varepsilon u^{\prime\prime}_\varepsilon + a(x)u^\prime_\varepsilon = f \quad \text{for all} \;x \in (0,d) \cup (d,1), \] \[ u_\varepsilon(0) = u_0, \quad u_\varepsilon(1) = u_1, \] where the coefficient of the convection term has a jump with a sign change in the interval. The authors discretize the problem by upwind finite differences on a piecewise uniform mesh and prove a comparison principle and stability results. Adequate numerical simulations are given.
