Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to design and analyze a robust numerical method for a coupled system of singularly perturbed parabolic delay partial differential equations (PDEs).

Design/methodology/approach

Some a priori bounds on the regular and layer parts of the solution and their derivatives are derived. Based on these a priori bounds, appropriate layer adapted meshes of Shishkin and generalized Shishkin types are defined in the spatial direction. After that, the problem is discretized using an implicit Euler scheme on a uniform mesh in the time direction and the central difference scheme on layer adapted meshes of Shishkin and generalized Shishkin types in the spatial direction.

Findings

The method is proved to be robust convergent of almost second-order in space and first-order in time. Numerical results are presented to support the theoretical error bounds.

Originality/value

A coupled system of singularly perturbed parabolic delay PDEs is considered and some a priori bounds are derived. A numerical method is developed for the problem, where appropriate layer adapted Shishkin and generalized Shishkin meshes are considered. Error analysis of the method is given for both Shishkin and generalized Shishkin meshes.

Abstract

We consider, as discretization in space, the nonconforming mesh developed in SUSHI (Scheme Using Stabilization and Hybrid Interfaces) developed in Eymard et al. (2010) for a semi-linear heat equation. The time discretization is performed using a uniform mesh. We are concerned with a nonlinear scheme that has been studied in Bradji (2016) in the context of the general framework GDM (Gradient Discretization Method) (Droniou et al., 2018) which includes SUSHI. We provide sufficient conditions on the size of the spatial mesh and the time step which allow to prove a W1,(L2)-error estimate. This error estimate can be viewed as an improvement for the W1,2(L2)-error estimate proved in Bradji (2016). The W1,(L2)-error estimate we want to prove in this note was stated without proof in Bradji (2016, Remark 7.2, Page 1302). Its proof is based on a comparison with an appropriately chosen auxiliary finite volume scheme along with the derivation of some new estimates on its solution.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to construct and analyze a parameter uniform higher-order scheme for singularly perturbed delay parabolic problem (SPDPP) of convection-diffusion type with a multiple interior turning point.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors construct a higher-order numerical method comprised of a hybrid scheme on a generalized Shishkin mesh in space variable and the implicit Euler method on a uniform mesh in the time variable. The hybrid scheme is a combination of simple upwind scheme and the central difference scheme.

Findings

The proposed method has a convergence rate of order O(N2L2+Δt). Further, Richardson extrapolation is used to obtain convergence rate of order two in the time variable. The hybrid scheme accompanied with extrapolation is second-order convergent in time and almost second-order convergent in space up to a logarithmic factor.

Originality/value

A class of SPDPPs of convection-diffusion type with a multiple interior turning point is studied in this paper. The exact solution of the considered class of problems exhibit two exponential boundary layers. The theoretical results are supported via conducting numerical experiments. The results obtained using the proposed scheme are also compared with the simple upwind scheme.
