First, we solve the system by using the classical finite difference scheme on the layer resolving Shishkin mesh, and then we construct the Richardson approximation solution using the solutions obtained on N and 2N mesh intervals. Second-order parameter--uniform error estimate is derived. The proposed method is applied to a test example for verification of the theoretical results for the case ε ≤ N−1.
