On the asymptotics of a solution to an equation with a small parameter at some of the highest derivatives

Abstract

We study the asymptotic behavior of a solution of the first boundary value problem for a second-order elliptic equation in a nonconvex domain with smooth boundary in the case where a small parameter is a factor at only some of the highest derivatives and the limit equation is an ordinary differential equation. Although the limit equation has the same order as the initial equation, the problem is singulary perturbed. The asymptotic behavior of its solution is studied by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
