The author considers for one- and two-dimensional singularly perturbed problems an algorithm based on a domain decomposition method. To find a domain decomposition which is well-suited for the singularly perturbed problem one needs some knowledge of the position of the boundary and transition layers but there is also a practical way proposed to implement an adaptive domain decomposition method. For two-dimensional problems it is shown that a combination of the ADI-iteration and the Schwarz alternating procedure offers a good option to be effectively used. As an example the procedure is illustrated in detail for a combustion problem.
