On monotone iterative methods for a nonlinear singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problem

摘要

This paper deals with discrete monotone iterative algorithms for solving a nonlinear singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problem. Firstly, the monotone method (known as the method of lower and upper solutions) is applied to computing a nonlinear difference scheme obtained after discretisation of the continuous problem. Secondly, a monotone domain decomposition algorithm based on a modification of the Schwarz alternating method is constructed. This monotone algorithm solves only linear discrete systems at each iterative step of the iterative process. The rate of convergence of the monotone Schwarz method is estimated. Numerical experiments are presented.
