Accurate solution of a system of coupled singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equations

We study a system of coupled reaction-diffusion equations. The equations have diffusion parameters of different magnitudes associated with them. Near each boundary, their solution exhibit two overlapping layers. A central difference scheme on layer-adapted piecewise uniform meshes is used to solve the system numerically. We show that the scheme is almost second-order convergent, uniformly in both perturbation parameters, thus improving previous results [5]. We present the results of numerical experiments to confirm our theoretical results.
