Maximum norm a posteriori error estimates for a one-dimensional convection-diffusion problem. (English) Zbl 1003.65091

This paper gives maximum norm error estimates, uniform in the perturbation parameter, for variable step first- and second-order finite difference schemes when solving singularly perturbed quasi-linear two point boundary value problems with an exponential boundary layer. Numerical results are presented which confirm the theoretical analysis.
