Conditional \(\epsilon\)-uniform boundedness of Galerkin projectors and convergence of an adaptive mesh method as applied to singularly perturbed boundary value problems (Q519132)

This article studies the numerical solution of the linear two-point boundary value problems of the form: \[ -\varepsilon\,u''(t) + p(t)u'(t) + q(t)u(t) = f(t), \quad t \in (0,1) u(0) = u(1) = 0. \] Basically, the authors apply the Galerkin finite element method for the above problem on the piecewise-uniform Shishkin meshes. Further, they use the Galerkin projection method to obtain the conditionally \(\varepsilon\)-uniform apriori error estimates and to prove the convergence of a sequence of meshes in the case of an unknown boundary layer edge. Numerical examples are carried out in supporting the theory.
