(Des estimations d’erreurs pour la discrétisation des équations paraboliques sur une classe générale multidimensionnelle de maillages non conformes.) (English) Zbl 1201.65167 C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 348, No. 19-20, 1119-1122 (2010). Summary: A general class of nonconforming meshes was recently used to approximate stationary anisotropic heterogeneous diffusion problems in any space dimensions [R. Eymard, T. Gallouët and R. Herbin, IMA J. Numer. Anal. 30, No. 4, 1009–1043 (2010; Zbl 1202.65144)]. The aim of the present work is to deal with some error estimates of the discretization of parabolic equations on this general class of meshes in several space dimensions. We present an implicit scheme based on an orthogonal projection of the exact initial function. We provide error estimates in discrete norms \(\mathbb L^\infty (0, T; H^1_0(\Omega ))\) and \(\mathcal W^{1, \infty }(0, T; \mathbb L^2(\Omega ))\).
