Abstract We consider a singularly perturbed linear reaction–diffusion problem posed on the unit square in two dimensions. Standard finite element analyses use an energy norm, but for problems of this type, this norm is too weak to capture adequately the behaviour of the boundary layers that appear in the solution. To address this deficiency, a stronger so-called ‘balanced’ norm has been considered recently by several researchers. In this paper we shall use two-scale and multiscale sparse grid finite element methods on a Shishkin mesh to solve the reaction–diffusion problem, and prove convergence of their computed solutions in the balanced norm.
