Asymptotic numerical method for third-order singularly perturbed convection diffusion delay differential equations.

In this paper, an asymptotic numerical method based on a fitted finite difference scheme and the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method with piecewise cubic Hermite interpolation on Shishkin mesh is suggested to solve singularly perturbed boundary value problems for third-order ordinary differential equations of convection diffusion type with a delay. An error estimate is derived using the supremum norm and it is of almost first-order convergence. A nonlinear problem is also solved using the Newton’s quasi linearization technique and the present asymptotic numerical method. Numerical results are provided to illustrate the theoretical results.
