Abstract
The error generated by the classical upwind finite difference method on a uniform mesh, when applied to a class of singularly perturbed modelordinary different alequations with a singularly perturbed Neumann boundary condition, tends to infinity as the singular perturbation parameter tends to zero. Note that the exact solution is uniformly bounded with respect to the perturbat on parameter. For the same classcal finite difference operator on an appropriate piecewise -uniform mesh, it is shown that the numerical solutions converge, uniformly with respect to the perturbation parameter, to the exact solution of any problem from this class.
