A uniformly convergent hybrid scheme for singularly perturbed system of reaction-diffusion Robin type boundary-value problems

Abstract

This paper deals with the study on system of reaction diffusion differential equations for Robin or mixed type boundary value problems (MBVPs). A cubic spline approximation has been used to obtain the difference scheme for the system of MBVPs, on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh defined in the whole domain. It has been shown that our proposed scheme, i.e., central difference approximation for outer region with cubic spline approximation for inner region of boundary layers, leads to almost second order parameter uniform convergence whereas the standard method i.e., the forward-backward approximation for mixed boundary conditions with central difference approximation inside the domain leads to almost first order convergence on Shishkin mesh. Numerical results are provided to show the efficiency and accuracy of these methods.
