Abstract
This paper presents and successfully applies an optimized hybrid block technique using a variable stepsize implementation to integrate a type of singularly perturbed parabolic convection–diffusion problems. The problem under consideration is semi-discretized by utilizing the method of lines. A few numerical experiments have been presented to ascertain the proposed error estimation and adaptive stepsize strategy. Furthermore, the comparison of the proposed method with other techniques in the literature is conducted via numerical experiments, and the results show that our method outperforms other existing methods.
