Semi-implicit discretization of abstract evolution equations. (English) Zbl 0807.65060
The authors consider a semi-implicit discretization of the following abstract Cauchy problem in a Banach space $$X: u'= f(t,u,u')$$, $$t\in (0,T]$$, $$u(0)= u_ 0$$, where $$f(t,\cdot,v)$$ is one-sided Lipschitz, $$R(I- hf(t,\cdot,v))= X$$ for $$h>0$$ sufficiently small and $$f(t,u,\cdot)$$ is Lipschitz continuous. Using the implicit Euler method, the authors deduce $$u_{n+1}= u_ n+ hf(t_{n+1},u_{n+1},u_ n)$$, with $$t_ n= nh$$, $$h= T/N$$,$$u_ n= u(t_ n)$$ and show that the latter is stable and consistent, and hence convergent.
The proof of the above-mentioned results will be published in another paper. Moreover, they apply the algorithm to semilinear parabolic (integro-)differential systems in both reflexive and non-reflexive spaces but present no numerical results.
