A stabilizing subgrid which consists of a single additional node in each triangular element is analyzed by solving the convection–diffusion problem, especially in the case of small diffusion. The choice of the location of the subgrid node is based on minimizing the residual of a local problem inside each element. We study convergence properties of the method under consideration and its connection with previously suggested stabilizing subgrids. We prove that the standard Galerkin finite element solution on augmented grid produces a discrete solution that satisfy the same a priori error estimates that are typically obtained with SUPG and RFB methods. Some numerical experiments that confirm the theoretical findings are also presented.

AbstractA singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with two small parameters is considered. The problem is solved using the streamline-diffusion finite element method on a Shishkin mesh. We prove that the method is convergent independently of the perturbation parameters. Numerical experiments support these theoretical results.

The purpose of this paper is to present a uniform finite difference method for numerical solution of nonlinear singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with nonlocal and third type boundary conditions. The numerical method is constructed on piecewise uniform Shishkin type mesh. The method is shown to be convergent, uniformly in the diffusion parameterε, of first order in the discrete maximum norm. Some numerical experiments illustrate in practice the result of convergence proved theoretically.

we present a first supercloseness analysis for higher order FEM/LDG coupled method for solving singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem. Based on piecewise polynomial approximations of degreek  (k≥1), a supercloseness property ofk+1/2in DG norm is established on S-type mesh. Numerical experiments complement the theoretical results.

Abstract A finite difference scheme on special piecewise-uniform grids condensing in the interior layer is constructed for a singularly perturbed parabolic convection-diffusion equation with a discontinuous right-hand side and a multiple degenerating convective term (the convective flux is directed into the domain). When constructing the scheme, monotone grid approximations, similar to those developed and justified earlier by authors for a problem with a simple degenerating convective term, are used. Using the known technique of numerical experiments on embedded meshes, it is numerically verified that the constructed scheme converges ε-uniformly in the maximum norm at the convergence rate close to one.

AbstractA singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem with a concentrated source is considered. The problem is solved numerically using two upwind difference schemes on general meshes. We prove convergence, uniformly with respect to the perturbation parameter, in the discrete maximum norm on Shishkin and Bakhvalov meshes. Numerical experiments complement our theoretical results.

AbstractFor a spatially periodic convection-diffusion problem, we analyze a time stepping method based on Lie splitting of a spatially semidiscrete finite element solution on time steps of length k, using the backward Euler method for the diffusion part and a stabilized explicit forward Euler approximation on {m\geq 1} intervals of length {k/m} for the convection part. This complements earlier work on time splitting of the problem in a finite difference context.

AbstractWe analyze a second-order in space, first-order in time accurate finite difference method for a spatially periodic convection-diffusion problem. This method is a time stepping method based on the first-order Lie splitting of the spatially semidiscrete solution. In each time step, on an interval of length k, of this solution, the method uses the backward Euler method for the diffusion part, and then applies a stabilized explicit forward Euler approximation on {m\geq 1} intervals of length {\frac{k}{m}} for the convection part. With h the mesh width in space, this results in an error bound of the form {C_{0}h^{2}+C_{m}k} for appropriately smooth solutions, where {C_{m}\leq C^{\prime}+\frac{C^{\prime\prime}}{m}}. This work complements the earlier study [V. Thomée and A. S. Vasudeva Murthy, An explicit-implicit splitting method for a convection-diffusion problem, Comput. Methods Appl. Math. 19 2019, 2, 283–293] based on the second-order Strang splitting.
