Numerical approximation of a parabolic problem with a nonlinear boundary condition

We analyze numerical approximations of positive solutions of a heat equation with a nonlinear flux condition which produces blow up of the solutions. By a semidiscretization using finite elements in the space variable we obtain a system of ordinary differential equations which is expected to be an a...
