In this paper, a class of linear second-order singularly perturbed differential-difference turning point problems with mixed shifts exhibiting two exponential boundary layers is considered. For the numerical treatment of these problems, first we employ a second-order Taylor’s series approximation on the terms containing shift parameters and obtain a modified singularly perturbed problem which approximates the original problem. Then a hybrid finite difference scheme on an appropriate piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is constructed to discretize the modified problem. Further, we proved that the method is almost second-order ɛ-uniformly convergent in the maximum norm. Numerical experiments are considered to illustrate the theoretical results. In addition, the effect of the shift parameters on the layer behavior of the solution is also examined.

Theoretical Results

In this paper, an initial value method for solving a class of linear second-order singularly perturbed differential difference equation containing mixed shifts is proposed. In doing so, first, the given problem is modified in to an equivalent singularly perturbed problem by approximating the term containing the delay and advance parameters using Taylor series expansion. From the modified problem, two explicit initial value problems which are independent of the perturbation parameter are produced; namely, the reduced problem and the boundary layer correction problem. These problems are then solved analytically and/or numerically, and those solutions are combined to give an approximate solution to the original problem. An error estimate for this method is derived using maximum norm. Several test problems are considered to illustrate the theoretical results. It is observed that the present method approximates the exact solution very well.
