Eymard, R.; Gutnic, M.; Hilhorst, D. The finite volume method for an elliptic-parabolic equation. (English) Zbl 0930.35082 Acta Math. Univ. Comen., New Ser. 67, No. 1, 181-195 (1998). A nonlinear diffusion problem with Dirichlet boundary condition is investigated in this paper especially from a numerical point of view. An approximate solution of this problem is constructed via finite volume scheme and existence of unique solution of this numerical solution is proved. The convergence of the approximate solution to the weak solution of this problem is presented. This is done by means of a priori estimates in \(L_2\) and the use of Kolmogorov’s theorem on relative compactness of subsets of \(L_2\).
