Exponentially accurate least-squares spectral element method for 1D elliptic boundary layer problems
摘要
Singularly perturbed problems arise in several applications and are known to contain boundary layers which are rapidly varying solution components due to the presence of a parameter which is usually very small in practice. In this work, we present least-squares spectral element methods for one dimensional elliptic boundary layer problems, employing both boundary layer (rp type) and geometric (hp type) mesh refinements. Stability estimates are derived and a numerical scheme, based on minimizing residuals in the least-squares sense with respect to suitable Sobolev norms is presented. We also design preconditioners that are essentially modified, parameter dependent
