摘要
We study in this paper two linearized backward Euler schemes with Galerkin finite element approximations for the time-dependent nonlinear Joule heating equations. By introducing a time-discrete (elliptic) system as proposed in Li and Sun (Int J Numer Anal Model 10:622-633, 2013; SIAM J Numer Anal (to appear)), we split the error function as the temporal error function plus the spatial error function, and then we present unconditionally optimal error estimates of th order Galerkin FEMs (). Numerical results in two and three dimensional spaces are provided to confirm our theoretical analysis and show the unconditional stability (convergence) of the schemes.
