In particular, the residual-free bubbles (RFB) can assure stabilized methods, but they are usually difficult to compute, unless the configuration is simple. Therefore it is important to devise numerical algorithms that provide cheap approximations to the RFB functions, contributing a good stabilizing effect to the numerical method overall. Here we propose a stabilization technique based on the RFB method and particularly designed to treat the most interesting case of small diffusion. We replace the RFB functions by their cheap, yet efficient approximations which retain the same qualitative behavior. The approximate bubbles are computed on a suitable sub-grid, the choice of whose nodes are critical and determined by minimizing the residual of a local problem with respect to L 1 norm. The resulting numerical method has similar stability features with the RFB method for the whole range of problem parameters. This fact is also confirmed by numerical experiments. We also note that the location of the sub-grid nodes suggested by the strategy herein coincides with the one in Brezzi et al. (Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci. 13:445-461, 2003). © 2011 Springer-Verlag.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1A Fully Discrete ?-Uniform Method for Singular Perturbation Problems on Equidistant Meshes(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2012) Filiz, Ali; Neslitürk, Ali; Şendur, AliWe propose a fully discrete ε-uniform finite-difference method on an equidistant mesh for a singularly perturbed two-point boundary-value problem (BVP). We start with a fitted operator method reflecting the singular perturbation nature of the problem through a local BVP. However, to solve the local BVP, we employ an upwind method on a Shishkin mesh in local domain, instead of solving it exactly. Thus, we show that it is possible to develop a ε-uniform method, totally in the context of finite differences, without solving any differential equation exactly. We further study the convergence properties of the numerical method proposed and prove that it nodally converges to the true solution for any ε. Finally, a set of numerical experiments is carried out to validate the theoretical results computationally. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC
