On a finite difference analogue of a singular boundary value problem.
In this paper, we examine a particular class of singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with a discontinuous coefficient of the convective term. The presence of a discontinuous convective coefficient generates a solution which mimics flow moving in opposing directions either side of some flow source. A particular transmission condition is imposed to ensure that the differential operator is stable. A piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh is combined with a monotone finite difference operator...
Various issues related to the development of a new code for nonstiff differential equations are discussed. This code is based on two-step Runge-Kutta methods of order five and stage order five. Numerical experiments are presented which demonstrate that the new code is competitive with the Matlab ode45 program for all tolerances.
