Abstract

In this paper, a class of linear parabolic systems of singularly perturbed Robin problems is considered. The components of the solution \(\vec {v}\) of this system exhibit parabolic boundary layers with sublayers. The numerical method suggested in this paper is composed of a classical finite difference scheme on a piecewise- uniform Shishkin mesh. This method is proved to be first-order convergent in time and essentially first-order convergent in the space variable in the maximum norm uniformly in the perturbation parameters.
