Abstract
In this paper, we discuss a class of higher order nonlinear nonlocal singularly perturbed boundary value problems with two parameters. Under suitable conditions, we use the fixed-point theorem to study the existence of a generalized solution. Moreover, with the help of the singular perturbation method, we gain the uniformly valid asymptotic representation of the solution.
Nonlinear singularly perturbed problems have received considerable attention in academia [1, 2]. Many approximation methods, including the boundary layer method, the averaging method, the method of matched asymptotic expansions, and the method of multiple scales, have been improved. Recently, many scholars, such as Samusenko [9], Skrynnikov [11], Tian and Zhu [12], Martínez and Wolanski [5], and Kellogg and Kopteva [4], have done plenty of work. Mo et al. [3, 6-8, 10] have studied a class of nonlinear problems using the singular perturbation method. This paper aims to study a class of singularly perturbed problems for elliptic equations with two parameters by the boundary layer method.

Theorem 1 is proved.

Here and hereafter, terms with negative subscripts are identically zero, and refers to functions successively known in terms of . The solution can be obtained successively, and the outer solution (7) is obtained, which may not satisfy the boundary condition (4) for . As a result, the correction terms of boundary layer need to be built near .
