Abstract:

A family of tridiagonal formally fourth-order difference schemes is developed for a class of singular perturbation problems. These schemes have no cell Reynolds number limitation and satisfy a discrete maximum principle. Error estimates and numerical results for this family of methods are given, and are compared with those for several other schemes.
