Convergence Analysis of Linearized BDF2 Virtual Element Method for Strongly Nonlinear Parabolic Problems on General Polygonal Meshes
摘要
In this paper, we present an optimal convergence analysis for virtual element method (VEM) of strongly nonlinear parabolic problems on general polygonal meshes. A linearized second-order backward difference formula (BDF2) is applied for the time discretization. To address the challenges associated with the nonlinear capacity term and the diffusion coefficient, we introduce a temporal-spatial error splitting technique that separates errors in the temporal and spatial directions and employs two virtual element projection operators. With the help of the time-discrete system, we establish the unconditional boundedness of the numerical solution in the
