Convergence order of implicit Euler numerical scheme for maximal monotone differential inclusions

Abstract

In the present work, we deal with the convergence of a class of numerical schemes for maximal monotone evolution systems in the particular case where the maximal monotone term is a subdifferential of a convex proper and lower semi-continuous function and the right-hand side depends on time and on solution. More precisely, we focus on an implicit Euler scheme and we show that the order of this scheme is one. Finally, some applications are given for a large class of rheological models.
