A uniformly convergent method for a singularly perturbed semilinear reaction-diffusion problem with discontinuous data (Q861102)

This paper deals with a uniformly convergent numerical method for the following singularly perturbed semilinear reaction-diffusion problem with discontinuous data: \[ \mu u''(x) + c(x,u(x)) + f(x) = 0, \quad \text{on}\,\, (0,1), \] subject to the Dirichlet boundary conditions \(u(x) = 0 = u(1)\). Uniform convergence error estimates on piecewise uniform and log-meshes are proved. Further, a monotone iterative method which uses the upper and lower solutions is applied to solve the nonlinear difference scheme. A test problem is verified numerically by the proposed method.
