Robust Numerical Methods for Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations--Supplements

The second edition of the book "Roos, Stynes, Tobiska -- Robust Numerical Methods for Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations" appeared many years ago and was for many years a reliable guide into the world of numerical methods for singularly perturbed problems. Since then many new results came into the game, we present some selected ones and the related sources.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1909.0827

An efficient numerical method for singularly perturbed time dependent parabolic 2D convection–diffusion systems

In this paper we deal with solving efficiently 2D linear parabolic singularly perturbed systems of convection–diffusion type. We analyze only the case of a system of two equations where both of them feature the same diffusion parameter. Nevertheless, the method is easily extended to systems with an arbitrary number of equations which have the same diffusion coefficient. The fully discrete numerical method combines the upwind finite difference scheme, to discretize in space, and the fractional implicit Euler method, together with a splitting by directions and components of the reaction–convection–diffusion operator, to discretize in time. Then, if the spatial discretization is defined on an appropriate piecewise uniform Shishkin type mesh, the method is uniformly convergent and it is first order in time and almost first order in space. The use of a fractional step method in combination with the splitting technique to discretize in time, means that only tridiagonal linear systems must be solved at each time level of the discretization. Moreover, we study the order reduction phenomenon associated with the time dependent boundary conditions and we provide a simple way of avoiding it. Some numerical results, which corroborate the theoretical established properties of the method, are shown

An ε -Uniform Numerical Method for a System of Convection-Diffusion Equations with Discontinuous Convection Coefficients and Source Terms

In this paper, a parameter-uniform numerical method is suggested to solve a system of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion equations with discontinuous convection coefficients and source terms subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition. The second derivative of each equation is multiplied by a distinctly small parameter, which leads to an overlap and interacting interior layer. A numerical method based on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh is constructed. Numerical results are presented to support the theoretical results

Proceedings for the ICASE Workshop on Heterogeneous Boundary Conditions

Domain Decomposition is a complex problem with many interesting aspects. The choice of decomposition can be made based on many different criteria, and the choice of interface of internal boundary conditions are numerous. The various regions under study may have different dynamical balances, indicating that different physical processes are dominating the flow in these regions. This conference was called in recognition of the need to more clearly define the nature of these complex problems. This proceedings is a collection of the presentations and the discussion groups
