Numerical blow-up for a nonlinear problem with a nonlinear boundary condition

In this paper we study numerical approximations for positive solutions of a nonlinear heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. We describe in terms of the nonlinearities when solutions of a semidiscretization in space exist globally in time and when they blow up in finite time. We also fin...

Sumario:In this paper we study numerical approximations for positive solutions of a nonlinear heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. We describe in terms of the nonlinearities when solutions of a semidiscretization in space exist globally in time and when they blow up in finite time. We also find the blow-up rates and the blow-up sets. In particular we prove that regional blow-up is not reproduced by the numerical scheme. However, in the appropriate variables we can reproduce the correct blow-up set when the mesh parameter goes to zero.
