UNIFORM QUADRATIC CONVERGENCE OF A MONOTONE WEIGHTED AVERAGE METHOD FOR SEMILINEAR SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC PROBLEMS

This paper deals with a monotone weighted average iterative method for solving semilinear singularly perturbed parabolic problems. Monotone sequences, based on the accelerated monotone iterative method, are constructed for a nonlinear difference scheme which approximates the semilinear parabolic problem. This monotone convergence leads to the existence-uniqueness theorem. An analysis of uniform convergence of the monotone weighted average iterative method to the solutions of the nonlinear difference scheme and continuous problem is given. Numerical experiments are presented.
