An efficient numerical approach for solving singularly perturbed parabolic differential equations with large negative shift and integral boundary condition

Abstract

In this study, we consider singularly perturbed large negative shift parabolic reaction–diffusion with integral boundary condition. The continuous solution's properties are discussed. On a non-uniform Shishkin mesh, the spatial derivative is discretized using the tension spline method, and the temporal derivative is discretized using the Crank–Nicolson method. In order to handle the integral boundary condition, Simpson's rule is used. After conducting an error analysis, it was determined that the method was uniformly convergent. To support the theoretical findings, numerical examples are taken into account and solved for different values of the perturbation parameter and mesh sizes. It is proved to be uniformly convergent to almost second order.
