Abstract: An initial-boundary value problem for a singularly perturbed transport equation with a perturbation parameter ε multiplying the spatial derivative is considered on the set Ḡ = G ∪ S, where Ḡ = D̅ × [0 ≤ t ≤ T], D̅ = {0 ≤ x ≤ d}, S = S ∪ S, and S and S are the lateral and lower boundaries. The parameter ε takes arbitrary values from the half-open interval (0,1]. In contrast to the well-known problem for the regular transport equation, for small values of ε, this problem involves a boundary layer of width O(ε) appearing in the neighborhood of S ; in the layer, the solution of the problem varies by a finite value. For this singularly perturbed problem, the solution of a standard difference scheme on a uniform grid does not converge ε-uniformly in the maximum norm. Convergence occurs only if h= dN ≪ ε and N ≪ 1, where N and N are the numbers of grid intervals in x and t, respectively, and h is the mesh size in x. The solution of the considered problem is decomposed into the sum of regular and singular components. With the behavior of the singular component taken into account, a special difference scheme is constructed on a Shishkin mesh, i.e., on a mesh that is piecewise uniform in x and uniform in t. On such a grid, a monotone difference scheme for the initial-boundary value problem for the singularly perturbed transport equation converges ε-uniformly in the maximum norm at an Ϭ( N + N ) rate.
