In this paper, we consider a convection-diffusion boundary value problem with singular perturbation. A finite element method (FEM) is proposed based on discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretization of least-squares variational formulation. Numerical tests on representative problems reveal that the method is robust and efficient.
Keywords: Finite element methods, singular perturbation problems, convection-diffusion problems, discontinuous Galerkin methods, least-squares methods.
