Abstract

We analyze finite volume schemes of arbitrary order $r$ for the one-dimensional singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problem on the Shishkin mesh. We show that the error under the energy norm decays as $(N^{-1}ln(N+1))^r$, where $2N$ is the number of subintervals of the primal partition. Furthermore, at the nodal points, the error in function value approximation super-converges with order $(N^{-1}ln(N+1))^{2r}$, while at the Gauss points, the derivative error super-converges with order $(N^{-1}ln(N+1))^{r+1}$. All the above convergence and superconvergence properties are independent of the perturbation parameter $ε$. Numerical results are presented to support our theoretical findings.
