An iterative method for computing an approximation to the solution of the singularly perturbed elliptic partial differential equation ({partial derivative}u/{partial derivative}x) {minus} {var epsilon}{Delta}u = 0 is described. Smoothness of the boundary conditions are established that will enable the iterates to asymptotically approximate the parabolic boundary layers of the solution. A domain decomposition technique based around the results of the asymptotic analysis is developed to numerically solve the above differential equation when the boundary functions are discontinuous. Convergence results of the numerical scheme are established and a computational example is given. Divergence is computationally examined. 7 refs.
