Lecture 109 (29th March): A Hybrid Numerical Method for Singularly Perturbed Semilinear Reaction-Diffusion Problems.

By Dr. S. Natesan, Department of Mathematics, IIT Guwahati.

(Abstract: The speaker proposes a second-order uniformly convergent hybrid numerical scheme for singularly perturbed semi-linear reaction-diffusion problems subject to Robin boundary conditions. He uses cubic spline to obtain the numerical scheme, and we apply it on a special piece-wise uniform mesh, which are dense in the so-called boundary layers and coarse in the regular region of the domain of interest. The stability and convergence of the scheme are discussed, and parameter-uniform error estimates are obtained.)
