An Efficient Computational Method for Singularly Perturbed Delay Parabolic Partial Differential Equations

Abstract

In this communication, a parameter uniform numerical scheme is proposed to solve singularly perturbed delay parabolic convection-diffusion equations. Taylor’s series expansion is applied to approximate the shift term. Then the resulting singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion equation is solved by utilizing the implicit Euler method for temporal discretization on uniform mesh and hybrid numerical scheme based on a midpoint upwind scheme in the coarse mesh regions and a cubic spline method in the fine mesh regions on a piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh for the spatial discretization. The proposed numerical scheme is shown to be an ε−uniformly convergent accuracy of first-order in time and almost second-order in space directions. Some test examples are considered to testify the theoretical predictions.
