ERROR ESTIMATES FOR NONLINEAR CONVECTIVE PROBLEMS IN THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD

Abstract

We describe the basic ideas needed to obtain apriori error estimates for a nonlinear convection diffusion equation discretized by higher order conforming finite elements. For simplicity of presentation, we derive the key estimates under simplified assumptions, e.g.

Dirichlet-only boundary conditions. The resulting error estimate is obtained using continuous mathematical induction for the space semi-discrete scheme.
