Numerical precision for differential inclusions with uniqueness

Abstract

In this article, we show the convergence of a class of numerical schemes for certain maximal monotone evolution systems; a by-product of this results is the existence of solutions in cases which had not been previously treated. The order of these schemes is 1/2 in general and 1 when the only non Lipschitz continuous term is the subdifferential of the indicatrix of a closed convex set. In the case of Prandtl's rheological model, our estimates in maximum norm do not depend on spatial dimension.
