Asymptotic behaviour for a numerical approximation of a parablic problem with blowing up solutions (Q5949510)

The subject is the behaviour of blowing up solutions of a semidiscrete numerical approximation for the problem \(u_t=u_{xx}+u^p\) in a bounded interval and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is proved that the blow-up rate for the numerical method is the same as for the continuous problem. Moreover, in some conditions, the blow-up set for the numerical approximations is contained in a neighborhood of the blow-up set of the continuous problem.
