This paper deals with a numerical method for solving one-dimensional unsteady Burgers-Huxley equation with the viscosity coefficient epsilon The parameter epsilon takes any values from the half open interval (0 1] At small values of the parameter epsilon an outflow boundary layer is produced in the neighborhood of right part of the lateral surface of the domain and the problem can be considered as a non-linear singularly perturbed problem with a singular perturbation parameter epsilon Using singular perturbation analysis asymptotic bounds for the derivatives of the solution are established by decomposing the solution into smooth and singular components We construct a numerical scheme that comprises of implicit Euler method to discretize in temporal direction on uniform mesh and a monotone hybrid finite difference operator to discretize the spatial variable with piecewise uniform Shishkin mesh To obtain better accuracy we use central finite difference scheme in the boundary layer region Shishkin meshes are refined in the boundary layer region therefore stability constraint is satisfied by proposed scheme Quasilinearization process is used to tackle the non-linearity and It is shown that quasilinearization process converges quadratically The method has been shown to be first order uniformly accurate in the temporal variable and in the spatial direction it is first order parameter uniform convergent in the outside region of boundary layer and almost second order parameter uniform convergent in the boundary layer region Accurac
