Finite element solution of a stationary heat conduction equation with the radiation boundary condition (Q686359)

There exist many different methods of treating analytically and numerically the Stefan-Boltzmann boundary condition appearing in stationary heat conduction problems [e.g. \textit{T. Y. Na}, Computational methods in engineering boundary value problems (1979; Zbl 0456.76002)]. Slightly modifying a variational approach briefly described by \textit{B. A. Szabó} and \textit{I. Babuška} [Finite element analysis, John Wiley \& Sons, New York (1991)], the author examines here the associated finite element approximations.
