Abstract

In this work we consider a bidimensional time-dependent convection-diffusion problem of type
ut -\epsilon\Deltau(x)+ v·Ñu+b u=f
(1)
joined to suitable initial and boundary conditions, where \epsilon can be small. In order to construct high order robust methods to approach u, firstly, we reduce (1), by using a high order splitting method, to a family of one-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems. After that, we discretize these problems with finite difference methods (also of high order) which are uniformly convergent with respect to parameter \epsilon, on some special meshes. The totally discrete schemes obtained with this technique, are optimal in terms of computational complexity, since the number of arithmetic computations that they require depends linearly on the number of mesh points.


Keywords: Uniform convergence, splitting methods, high order, Shishkin mesh.
