Abstract This paper is concerned with a numerical scheme to solve a singularly perturbed convection–diffusion problem. The solution of this problem exhibits the boundary layer on the right-hand side of the domain due to the presence of singular perturbation parameter ɛ. The scheme involves B-spline collocation method and appropriate piecewise-uniform Shishkin mesh. Bounds are established for the derivative of the analytical solution. Moreover, the present method is boundary layer resolving as well as second-order uniformly convergent in the maximum norm. A comprehensive analysis has been given to prove the uniform convergence with respect to singular perturbation parameter. Several numerical examples are also given to demonstrate the efficiency of B-spline collocation method and to validate the theoretical aspects.
