Abstract

In this paper, we present an initial value approach for a class of singularly perturbed two point boundary value problems with a boundary layer at one end point. The idea is to replace the original two point boundary value problem by set of suitable initial value problems. This replacement is significant from the computational point of view. This method does not depend on asymptotic expansions. Several linear and non-linear singular perturbation problems have been solved and the numerical results are presented to support the theory.
