In our algorithms, the diffusion term is discretized by the finite volume method, while the temporal differentiation and advection terms are treated by the characteristic scheme. Under some conditions about the coefficients and exact solution, optimal error estimates for the numerical solution are obtained. Furthermore, the two- grid characteristic finite volume methods involve solving a nonlinear equation on coarse mesh with mesh size H, a large linear problem for the Oseen two-grid characteristic finite volume method on a fine mesh with mesh size h = O（H2） or a large linear problem for the Newton two-grid characteristic finite volume method on a fine mesh with mesh size h = 0（I log hll/2H3）. These methods we studied provide the same convergence rate as that of the characteristic finite volume method, which involves solving one large nonlinear problem on a fine mesh with mesh size h. Some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methods.展开更多

The standard Galerkin finite element method based on P2 conforming elements is used to the spatial discretization of the problem and the Crank-Nieolson/Newton scheme is applied to the time discretization of the resulted finite element equations. Moreover, assuming the appropriate regularity of the exact solution and the finite element solution, we obtain optimal error estimates of the fully discrete Crank- Nicolson/Newton scheme of nonlinear parabolic problem. Finally, numerical experiments are presented to show the efficient performance of the proposed scheme.展开更多
