Abstract
This paper deals with monotone finite difference iterative
algorithms for solving nonlinear singularly perturbed
reaction-diffusion problems of elliptic and parabolic types.
Monotone domain decomposition algorithms based on a Schwarz
alternating method and on box-domain decomposition are
constructed. These monotone algorithms solve only linear discrete
systems at each iterative step and converge monotonically to the
exact solution of the nonlinear discrete problems. The rate of
convergence of the monotone domain decomposition algorithms are
estimated. Numerical experiments are presented.
