Abstract: A numerical algorithm is presented to solve a benchmark problem proposed by Hemker. The algorithm incorporates asymptotic information into the design of appropriate piecewise-uniform Shishkin meshes. Moreover, different co-ordinate systems are utilized due to the different geometries and associated layer structures that are involved in this problem. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed numerical algorithm.

Review text

A numerical algorithm is presented to solve a benchmark problem proposed by \textit{P. W. Hemker} [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 76, No. 1--2, 277--285 (1996; Zbl 0870.35020)]. The numerical algorithm is composed of several different Shishkin meshes defined across different coordinate systems aligned to three overlapping subdomains. It is constructed based on parameter explicit pointwise bounds on how the continuous solutions decay away from the circle. Using upwinding in all co-ordinate directions, numerical solutions exhibit no spurious oscillations. Several layer-adapted Shishkin meshes are utilized and these grids are aligned both to the geometry of the domain and to the dominant direction of decay within the boundary/interior layer functions. Numerical experiments indicate that the method is producing accurate approximations over an extensive range of the singular perturbation parameter. The numerical approximations are converging to the continuous solution for each value of the parameter, but not uniformly in the singular perturbation parameter
