A Shishkin mesh for a singularly perturbed Riccati equation (Q557775)

The paper deals with the singularly perturbed initial value problem \((\varepsilon u'+a(u^2-g^2))(x)=0\), \(x>0\), \(u(0)=A\), where \(a,g\in C^1[0,L)\) and \(\varepsilon >0\) is a small parameter. Bounds on the solution and its derivatives are derived. A numerical method for solving the equation is proposed based on a Shiskin mesh and error bounds for the numerical approximation are established.
