## Parameter uniform numerical method for singularly perturbed turning point problems exhibiting boundary layers.(English)Zbl 1033.65061

The aim of this paper is to provide a layer resolving parameter uniform convergent numerical method for the turning point problem. The authors suggest an appropriate piecewise-uniform mesh and apply the classical finite-difference schemes on this mesh. The $$\varepsilon$$-uniform error estimates are derived and some numerical examples are included to support the theoretical estimates.
