Abstract

In this study, we consider the time-delayed singularly perturbed parabolic PDEs (SPPPDEs). We know that the classical finite difference scheme will not produce good results for singular perturbation problems on a uniform mesh. Here, we propose a new stable finite difference (NSFD) scheme, which produces good results on a uniform mesh and also on an adaptive mesh. The NSFD scheme is constructed based on the stability of the analytical solution. Results are compared with the results available in the literature and observed that the proposed method is efficient over the existing methods for solving SPPPDEs.
