Galerkin/Runge-Kutta discretizations of nonlinear parabolic equations
Author
Summary, in English
Global error bounds are derived for full Galerkin/Runge-Kutta discretizations of nonlinear parabolic problems, including the evolution governed by the p-Laplacian with p >= 2. The analysis presented here is not based on linearization procedures, but on the fully nonlinear framework of logarithmic Lipschitz constants and an extended B-convergence theory. The global error is bounded in L-2 by Delta x(r/2) + Delta t(q). where r is the convergence order of the Galerkin method applied to the underlying stationary problem and q is the stiff order of the algebraically stable Runge-Kutta method.
