Abstract

This paper deals with the numerical analysis for a family of nonlinear degenerate parabolic problems. The model is spatially discretized using a finite element method; an implicit Euler scheme is employed for time discretization. We deduce sufficient conditions to ensure that the fully discrete problem has a unique solution and to prove quasi-optimal error estimates for the approximation. Finally, we propose a nonlinear degenerate parabolic problem that arises from electromagnetic applications in conductive nonlinear magnetic media and deduce its solubility and convergence by using the developed abstract theory, including some numerical results to confirm the obtained theoretical results.
