Analysis of a stabilized finite element approximation of the transient convection-diffusion-reaction equation using orthogonal subscales (Q1348624)

The authors analyze a stabilized finite element method to solve the transient convection-diffusion-reaction equation based on the decomposition of the unknowns into resolvable and subgrid scales. They start from the time-discrete form of the problem and obtain an evolution equation for both components of the decomposition. A closed-form expression is proposed for the subscales. An optimal error estimation for the backward Euler methods is given.
