Degenerate Convection-Diffusion Equations and Implicit Monotone
Difference Schemes
Steinar Evje and Kenneth Hvistendahl Karlsen
Abstract:
We analyse implicit monotone finite difference schemes for nonlinear, possibly
strongly degenerate, convection-diffusion equations in one spatial dimension.
Since we allow strong degeneracy, solutions can be discontinuous and are in
general not uniquely determined by their data. We thus choose to work with
weak solutions that belong to the $BV$ (in space and time) class and, in
addition, satisfy an entropy condition. The difference schemes are shown to
converge to the unique $BV$ entropy weak solution of the problem. This paper
complements our previous work on explict monotone
schemes.
