A numerical algorithm to computationally solve the hemker problem using shishkin meshes

A numerical algorithm is presented to solve a benchmark problem proposed by Hemker (1996). The algorithm incorporates asymptotic information into the design of appropriate piecewise-uniform Shishkin meshes. Moreover, different co-ordinate systems are utilized due to the different geometries and associated layer structures that are involved in this problem. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed numerical algorithm.
