Abstract

A new finite element method is presented for a general class of singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems \(-\varepsilon ^2\varDelta u +bu=f\) posed on bounded domains \(\varOmega \subset \mathbb {R}^k\) for \(k\ge 1\), with the Dirichlet boundary condition \(u=0\) on \(\partial \varOmega\), where \(0 <\varepsilon \ll 1\). The method is shown to be quasioptimal (on arbitrary meshes and for arbitrary conforming finite element spaces) with respect to a weighted norm that is known to be balanced when one has a typical decomposition of the unknown solution into smooth and layer components. A robust (i.e., independent of \(\varepsilon\)) almost first-order error bound for a particular FEM comprising piecewise bilinears on a Shishkin mesh is proved in detail for the case where \(\varOmega\) is the unit square in \(\mathbb {R}^2\). Numerical results illustrate the performance of the method.
