| Summary: | This paper addresses the numerical approximations of solutions for one dimensional parabolic singularly perturbed problems of reaction-diffusion type. The solution of this class of problems exhibit boundary layers on both sides of the domain. The proposed numerical method involves combining the backward Euler method on a uniform mesh for temporal discretization and an upwind finite difference scheme for spatial discretization on a modified graded mesh. The numerical solutions presented here are calculated using a modified graded mesh and the error bounds are rigorously assessed within the discrete maximum norm. The primary focus of this study is to underscore the crucial importance of utilizing a modified graded mesh to enhance the order of convergence in numerical solutions. The method demonstrates uniform convergence, with first-order accuracy in time and nearly second-order accuracy in space concerning the perturbation parameter. Theoretical findings are supported by numerical results presented in the paper. |
