Numerical solution of singularly perturbed delay differential equations using gaussion quadrature method

Abstract

In this paper, a quadrature technique is employed for the solution of singularly perturbed delay differential equation. A first-order neutral type delay differential equation is achieved, which is asymptotically equivalent to the given singularly perturbed delay differential equation. Then Gaussian quadrature two-point formula is implemented on the first order equation to get a tridiagonal. Thomas algorithm is used to solve the resulting tri-diagonal system. The proposed method is implemented on model example, for different value of delay parameter and perturbation parameter. Maximum absolute errors are tabulated with a comparison to authorize the method. Theoretical convergence of the method is discussed. The layer behaviour is discussed using the graphical histrionics.
