Abstract
We consider a boundary value problem for a linear difference equation with
several widely different coefficients. We study the existence and uniqueness
of its solution and we give successive asymptotic approximations for this
solution, obtained by a simple iterative method. This method improves the
singular perturbation method, it offers considerable reduction and
simplicity in computation since it does not require to compute boundary
layer correction solutions.
