contents We consider a model convection-diffusion problem and present our recent numerical and analysis results regarding mixed finite element formulation and discretization in the singular perturbed case when the convection term dominates the problem. Using the concepts of optimal norm and saddle point reformulation, we found new error estimates for the case of uniform meshes. We compare the standard linear Galerkin discretization to a saddle point least square discretization that uses quadratic test functions, and explain the non-physical oscillations of the discrete solutions. We also relate a known upwinding Petrov Galerkin method and the stream-line diffusion discretization method, by emphasizing the resulting linear systems and by comparing appropriate error norms. The results can be extended to the multidimensional case in order to find efficient approximations for more general singular perturbed problems including convection dominated models
