AbstractWe consider fourth order singularly perturbed problems in one-dimension and the approximation of their solution by the h version of the finite element method. In particular, we use piecewise Hermite polynomials of degree ${p\geq 3}$ defined on an exponentially graded mesh. We show that the method converges uniformly, with respect to the singular perturbation parameter, at the optimal rate when the error is measured in both the energy norm and a stronger, ‘balanced’ norm. Finally, we illustrate our theoretical findings through numerical computations, including a comparison with another scheme from the literature.

We consider the numerical approximation of singularly perturbed elliptic problems in smooth domains. The solution to such problems can be decomposed into a smooth part and a boundary layer part. We present guidelines for the effective resolution of boundary layers in the context of the hp finite element method and we construct tensor product spaces that approximate these layers uniformly at a near-exponential rate.
