Numerical blow-up for the porous medium equation with a source

We study numerical approximations of positive solutions of the porous medium equation with a nonlinear source, {ut = (um) xx + up, (x, t) ∈ (-L, L) × (0, T), u(-L, t) = u(L, t) = 1, t∈ [0, t), u(x, 0) = φ(x), ≥1 x ∈ (-L, L), where m > 1, p > 0 and L > 0 are parameters. We descri...

Sumario:We study numerical approximations of positive solutions of the porous medium equation with a nonlinear source, {ut = (um) xx + up, (x, t) ∈ (-L, L) × (0, T), u(-L, t) = u(L, t) = 1, t∈ [0, t), u(x, 0) = φ(x), ≥1 x ∈ (-L, L), where m > 1, p > 0 and L > 0 are parameters. We describe in terms of p, m, and L when solutions of a semidiscretization in space exist globally in time and when they blow up in a finite time. We also find the blow-up rates and the blow-up sets, proving that there is no regional blow-up for the numerical scheme. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
