Abstract: A set of singularly perturbed systems comprising Fredholm integro-differential equations associated with reaction–diffusion problems is considered. To approximate solutions to these systems, a second-order scheme for the derivatives and the trapezoidal rule for the integral terms are utilized. The discretization is performed on non-standard grids known as Shishkin-type meshes. The numerical method demonstrates a second-order rate of convergence with respect to small parameters in the equations, and error estimates are derived in the discrete maximum norm. Numerical experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical results.
