Review text

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00015.] The title problem is thoroughly investigated in the \(n\)-dimensional layer \(0 < x_ 1 < d\) as the Dirichlet problem for the equation \(\varepsilon^ 2 Lu = g(x,u)\), where \(L\) is a second order linear elliptic differential operator and \(\varepsilon \to 0\). Because the simple geometry of the domain, the singular part of the solution in the boundary layer can be described by an ordinary differential equation. This allows to construct a finite difference scheme defined on a special mesh, which is uniformly convergent in the perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon\). On the other hand, the non-existence of an \(\varepsilon\)-uniformly convergent scheme on a uniform mesh is shown, even in the one-dimensional case. A key role in this study play classical a priori estimations of the solution and its derivatives.
