Abstract:

In this paper, a singularly perturbed second order ordinary differential equation with a discontinuous convection coefficient arising in chemical reactor theory is considered. A robust-layer-resolving numerical method is suggested. An ε-uniform global error estimate for the numerical solution and also to the numerical derivative are established. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
