AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">We present an analysis of an Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI)
scheme for a linear, singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion equation. By providing an expression for the error that separates the temporal and spatial components, we can use existing results for steady-state problems to give a succinct analysis for the time-dependent problem, and that generalizes for various
layer-adapted meshes. We report the results of numerical experiments that
support the theoretical findings. In addition, we provide a numerical comparison between the ADI and Euler techniques, as well details of the computational
advantage gained by parallelizing the algorithm.</p>
