Abstract
We consider the diffusive limit of a steady neutron transport equation with one-speed velocity in a two-dimensional annulus. A classical theorem states that the solution can be approximated in $L^{\infty}$ by the leading order interior solution plus the corresponding Knudsen layers in the diffusive limit. In this paper, we construct a counterexample of this result via a different boundary layer expansion with geometric correction.
