A Two-Grid Method for Finite Element Solutions of Nonlinear Parabolic Equations

A two-grid method is presented and discussed for a finite element approximation to a nonlinear parabolic equation in two space dimensions. Piecewise linear trial functions are used. In this two-grid scheme, the full nonlinear problem is solved only on a coarse grid with grid size H. The nonlineariti...
