The authors consider a nonlinear singularly perturbed initial value problem. The behavior of the exact solution and its derivatives is analyzed. This analysis allows the authors to construct a Shishkin-type mesh. On this mesh a hybrid difference scheme is suggested. The considered scheme is a combination of the second-order difference schemes on the fine mesh and the midpoint upwind scheme on the coarse mesh. It is proved that the scheme is almost second-order convergent, in the discrete maximum norm, independently of singular perturbation parameters. Some numerical tests supporting the theoretical results are provided.
