Considering a two‐dimensional singularly perturbed convection–diffusion problem with exponential boundary layers, we analyze the local discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method that uses piecewise bilinear polynomials on Shishkin mesh. A convergence rate O ( N ‐1 ln N ) in a DG‐norm is established under the regularity assumptions, while the total number of mesh points is O ( N 2 ). The rate of convergence is uniformly valid with respect to the singular perturbation parameter ε . Numerical experiments indicate that the theoretical error estimate is sharp. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 2013
