On the sharpness of Green's function estimates for a convection-diffusion problem

Linear singularly perturbed convection-diffusion problems with characteristic layers are considered in three dimensions. We demonstrate the sharpness of our recently obtained upper bounds for the associated Green’s function and its derivatives in the $L_1$ norm. For this, in this paper we establish the corresponding lower bounds. Both upper and lower bounds explicitly show any dependence on the singular perturbation parameter.
