Finite volumes and nonlinear diffusion equations

From MaRDI portal





For the initial-boundary value problem for the nonlinear Stefan-type equation \[ {\partial u\over\partial t}-\Delta\varphi(u)=v \] with homogeneous Neumann boundary condition, the convergence of finite volume solutions is studied. Although the finite volume technique seems to be most popular in engineering, convergence analysis is known for finite difference and finite elements solutions as well as special finite volume methods, only. The authors provide convergence results for the time-explicit finite volume scheme and show how these results can be extended to implicit schemes. The analysis is in particular based upon Kolmogorov's theorem on relative compactness of subsets of \(L^2\) and \(L^\infty\)-a priori-estimates.
