A Uniformly Convergent Galerkin Method on a Shishkin Mesh for a Convection-Diffusion Problem

Received September 16, 1996A Galerkin finite element method that uses piecewise bilinears on a simplepiecewise equidistant mesh is applied to a linear convection-dominatedconvection-diffusion problem in two dimensions. The method is shown to beconvergent, uniformly in the perturbation parameter, of order
