Uniform pointwise convergence of difference schemes for convection-diffusion problems on layer-adapted meshes (Q5930671)

Two convection-diffusion boundary value problems in conservative form: for an ordinary differential equation and for a parabolic equation with one space dimension are investigated especially from the numerical point of view. Both problems are discretized using a four-point second-order upwind space difference operator on arbitrary and layer-adapted space meshes. \(\varepsilon \)-uniform maximum norm error estimates \( O(N^{-2} \ln^2 N (+\tau))\) and \( O(N^{-2}(+\tau))\), respectively, for the Shishkin and Bakhvalov space meshes are presented, where \(N\) is the space mesh nodes number and \(\tau\) is the time mesh-interval. The smoothness condition for the Bakhvalov mesh is replaced by a weaker condition. Some numerical experiments are also included.
