Enriched Spectral Method for Stiff Convection-Dominated Equations

A novel and simple numerical method for stiff convection-dominated problems is studied in presence of boundary or interior layers. A version of the spectral Chevyshev-collocation method enriched with the so-called corrector functions is investigated. The corrector functions here are designed to capture the stiffness of the layers (see the Appendix), and the proposed method does not rely on the adaptive grid points. The extensive numerical results demonstrate that the enriched spectral methods are very accurate with low computational cost
