Abstract
Abstract In this paper we study approximations of a singularly perturbed system of two coupled reaction-diffusion equations, in one dimension, by using piecewise linear finite elements on graded meshes. When the parameters are of different magnitudes, the solution exhibits in general two distinct but overlapping boundary layers. We prove that, when the mesh grading parameter is appropriately chosen, optimal error estimates in a balanced norm for piecewise linear elements can be obtained. Supporting numerical results are also presented.
