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.
