In this paper, a second order singularly perturbed differential difference equation with both the negative and positive shifts is considered. A fitted non-polynomial spline approach is applied to solve the problem. Taylor series expansion process is being used to produce an approximated form of the considered problem, and then a fitted non-polynomial spline approach is devised in the form of a three-term recurrence relation. The convergence of the method is examined, and a quadratic rate of convergence is achieved. The maximum absolute error with quadratic rate of convergence of the solution is recorded. Layer profile is examined using the graphs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
