A uniformly convergent collocation method for singularly perturbed delay parabolic reaction-diffusion problem (Q2664884)

Summary: In this article, a numerical solution is proposed for singularly perturbed delay parabolic reaction-diffusion problem with mixed-type boundary conditions. The problem is discretized by the implicit Euler method on uniform mesh in time and extended cubic B-spline collocation method on a Shishkin mesh in space. The parameter-uniform convergence of the method is given, and it is shown to be \(\varepsilon \)-uniformly convergent of \(O(\varDelta t + N^{- 2} \ln^2 N)\), where \(\varDelta t\) and \(N\) denote the step size in time and number of mesh intervals in space, respectively. The proposed method gives accurate results by choosing suitable value of the free parameter \(\lambda \). Some numerical results are carried out to support the theory.
