## Finite element approximation of diffusion equations with convolution terms.(English)Zbl 0855.76041

Summary: Approximation of solutions to diffusion equations with memory represented by convolution integral terms is considered. Such problems arise from modeling of flows in fissured media. Convergence of the method is proved, and results of numerical experiments confirming the theoretical results are presented. The advantages of implementation of the algorithm in a multiprocessing environment are discussed.
