Solving a variational parabolic equation with the periodic condition by a projection-difference method with the Crank–Nicolson scheme in time

详细

A solution to a smoothly solvable linear variational parabolic equation with the periodic condition is sought in a separable Hilbert space by an approximate projection-difference method using an arbitrary finite-dimensional subspace in space variables and the Crank–Nicolson scheme in time. Solvability, uniqueness, and effective error estimates for approximate solutions are proven. We establish the convergence of approximate solutions to a solution as well as the convergence rate sharp in space variables and time.
