Abstract

On the set \(\overline{G} =G \cup S\), \(G=(0,d]\times (0,T]\) with the boundary \(S=S_0 \cup S^{\,\ell }\), we consider an initial-boundary value problem for the singularly perturbed transport equation with a perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon \) multiplying the spatial derivative, \(\varepsilon \in (0,1]\). For small values of the perturbation parameter \(\varepsilon \), the solution of such a problem has a singularity of the boundary layer type, which makes standard difference schemes unsuitable for practical computations. To solve this problem numerically, an approach to the development of a robust difference scheme is proposed, similar to that used for constructing special \(\varepsilon \)-uniformly convergent difference schemes for singularly perturbed elliptic and parabolic equations. In this paper, we give a technique for constructing a robust difference scheme and justifying its \(\varepsilon \)-uniform convergence, and we study numerically solutions of standard and special robust difference schemes for a model initial-boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed transport equation. The results of numerical experiments confirm theoretical results.

Notes

  1. 1.

    By M (m) we denote sufficiently large (small) positive constants independent of \(\varepsilon \). In the case of grid problems, these constants also do not depend on the stencils of the difference schemes.

  2. 2.

    The notation \(D_{(i.j)}\) (\(L_{(i.j)}\), \(m_{(i.j)}\), \(M_{(i.j)}\), \(D_{h(i.j)})\) means that these sets (operators, constants, grids) were introduced in formula (i.j).
