Abstract
A class of singularly perturbed boundary value problems (SPBVPs) for fourth-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) is considered. The SPBVP is reduced into a weakly coupled system of two ODEs subject to suitable initial and boundary conditions. In order to solve them numerically, a method is suggested in which the given interval is divided into two inner regions (boundary layer regions) and one outer region. Two initial-value problems associated with inner regions and one boundary value problem corresponding to the outer region are derived from the given SPBVP. In each of the two inner regions, an initial value problem is solved by using fitted mesh finite difference (FMFD) scheme on Shishkin mesh and the boundary value problem corresponding to the outer region is solved by using classical finite difference (CFD) scheme on Shishkin mesh. A combination of the solution so obtained yields a numerical solution of the boundary value problem on the whole interval. First, in this method, we find the zeroth-order asymptotic expansion approximation of the solution of the weakly coupled system. Error estimates are derived. Examples are presented to illustrate the numerical method. This method is suitable for parallel computing.
