ABSTRACT
In this article, we aim to introduce a high-order uniformly convergent method to solve singularly perturbed delay parabolic convection diffusion problems exhibiting a regular boundary layer. The domain is discretized by a uniform mesh in the time direction and a piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh for the spatial direction. We use the Crank–Nicolson method for the time derivative and we develop a fourth-order compact difference method to solve the set of ordinary differential equations at each time level. The stability analysis and the truncation error are discussed. Parameter-uniform error estimates are derived and it is shown that the method is -uniformly convergent of second-order accurate in time, and in the spatial direction it is of second-order outside region of boundary layer, and of almost fourth-order inside the layer region. Numerical examples are presented to verify the theoretical results and to confirm the efficiency and high accuracy of the proposed method.
