Description
Summary:As it is well recognized that conventional numerical schemes are inefficient in approximating the solutions of the singularly perturbed problems (SPP) in the boundary layer region, in the present work, an effort has been made to propose a robust and efficient numerical approach known as element-free Galerkin (EFG) technique to capture these solutions with a high precision of accuracy. Since a lot of weight functions exist in the literature which plays a crucial role in the moving least square (MLS) approximations for generating the shape functions and hence affect the accuracy of the numerical solution, in the present work, due emphasis has been given to propose a robust weight function for the element-free Galerkin scheme for SPP. The key feature of nonrequirement of elements or node connectivity of the EFG method has also been utilized by proposing a way to generate nonuniformly distributed nodes. In order to verify the computational consistency and robustness of the proposed scheme, a variety of linear and nonlinear numerical examples have been considered and L∞ errors have been presented. Comparison of the EFG solutions with those available in the literature depicts the superiority of the proposed scheme.
