Stiff differential equations and singular perturbations

Robert E. O'Malley, Jr.

Abstract: This paper surveys some possible solution behaviors for singularly perturbed initial value problems for simple ordinary differential equations. Initial layers, corner layers, and shock layers of rapid change are featured. The resulting challenges for stiff computation are pointed out. Reference is made to a variety of literature.
