BLOW-UP FOR DISCRETIZATIONS OF SOME
REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH
A NONLINEAR CONVECTION TERM

Abstract

This paper concerns the study of the numerical approximation for the following parabolic equations with a nonlinear convection term

\begin{displaymath}% \\

\left\{ %

\begin{array}{ll}

\hbox{$u_t(x,t)=u_{xx}(x...

..._{0}(x) > 0,\quad 0\leq x \leq 1$,} \\

\end{array}%

\right. \end{displaymath}

where $q\geq 1$ and $p\geq q+1$.

We find some conditions under which the solution of the discrete form of the above problem blows up in a finite time and estimate its numerical blow-up time. We also prove that the numerical blow-up time converges to the real one, when the mesh size goes to zero. Finally, we give some numerical experiments to illustrate ours analysis.
