摘要

The convergence of a rescaling algorithm, which is proposed by Berger and Kohn (Commun Pure Appl Math 41:841–863, 1988) to numerically reconstruct the blow-up solutions of nonlinear evolution equations, is analyzed. Berger and Kohn’s algorithm was also used by Anada and Ishiwata (J Differ Equ 262:181–271, 2017) to compute the blow-up rates and was found to be very effective. However, convergence analysis for this algorithm is yet to be studied. In this paper, we consider a typical blow-up problem, the semilinear heat equation, as a model problem for the investigation of the relation between the numerical solution computed by Berger and Kohn’s algorithm and the exact solution. We show the convergence of the computed blow-up time and revisit the blow-up rate in view of Berger and Kohn’s algorithm.
