Abstract

We consider a singularly perturbed boundary value problem with Dirichlet conditions and study the sensitivity of the internal layers solutions with respect to small changes in the boundary data. Our approach exploits the existence of smooth invariant manifolds and their asymptotic expansions in the small parameter of perturbation. We show that the phenomenon is extremely sensitive since the shock layers are only obtained by exponentially small perturbations of the boundary data.
