A fully discrete \(H^1\)-Galerkin method with quadrature for nonlinear advection-diffusion-reaction equations (Q877271)

The authors propose and analyse a fully discrete \(H^1\)-Galerkin method with quadrature for nonlinear parabolic advection-diffusion-reaction equations that requires only linear algebraic solvers. The scheme applied to the special case heat equation is a fully discrete quadrature version of the least-squares method. The second order convergence and optimal \(H^1\) optimal convergence in space are proved. Numerical experiments that demonstrate optimal order convergence are presented.
