Purpose

The purpose of this study is to provide a robust numerical method for a two parameter singularly perturbed delay parabolic initial boundary value problem (IBVP).

Design/methodology/approach

To solve the problem, the authors have used a hybrid scheme combining the midpoint scheme, the upwind scheme and the second-order central difference scheme for the spatial derivatives. The backward Euler scheme on a uniform mesh is used to approximate the time derivative. Here, the authors have used Shishkin type meshes for spatial discretization.

Findings

It is observed that the proposed method converges uniformly with almost second-order spatial accuracy with respect to the discrete maximum norm.

Originality/value

This paper deals with the numerical study of a two parameter singularly perturbed delay parabolic IBVP. To solve the problem, the authors have used a hybrid scheme combining the midpoint scheme, the upwind scheme and the second-order central difference scheme for the spatial derivatives. The backward Euler scheme on a uniform mesh is used to approximate the time derivative. The convergence analysis is carried out. It is observed that the proposed method converges uniformly with almost second-order spatial accuracy with respect to the discrete maximum norm. Numerical experiments illustrate the efficiency of the proposed scheme.
