We study, in the rectangle Ω=(0, α)×(0, b), the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the elliptic partial differential equation Lu=-εΔu+pu(subscript x)+gu(subscript y)+qu=f, where 0<ε≪1, Δ is the Laplacian operator, and the functions p, g, q and f satisfy certain hypotheses; in particular, p>0, q≥0. We construct a formal asymptotic expansion of the solution u of this problem for small ε. This expansion contains the solution of the reduced equation and boundary layer functions. The parabolic boundary layer functions satisfy a parabolic equation with an unbounded coefficient. We transform the parabolic equation into a heat equation to develop properties of the parabolic boundary layer. Estimates for the remainder in the expansion are established that are of the order of magnitude of powers of ε.
