New initial-value method for singularly perturbed boundary-value problems (Q1115127)

An initial-value method is given for second-order singularly perturbed boundary-value problems with a boundary layer at one endpoint. The idea is to replace the original twopoint boundary-value problem by two suitable initial-value problems. The method is very easy to use and to implement. Nontrivial text problems are used to show the feasibility of the given method, its versatility, and performance in solving linear and nonlinear singularly perturbed problems.
