Numerical simulation of nonlinear nonstationary processes with discontinuous characteristics of fields (Q1974306)

A new initial-boundary value problem is considered for a nonlinear equation of parabolic type with inhomogeneous conditions of conjugation of nonideal contact. High-accuracy computing algorithms of discretization of a nonlinear problem with a discontinuous solution and a discontinuous flow are proposed. The estimates of the rate of convergence of approximate discontinuous solutions are obtained. The order of magnitude of these estimates is no worse than that of similar estimates well known for problems with smooth solutions.
