abstract:
The gradient discretisation method (GDM) is a generic framework for the
spatial discretisation of partial differential equations. The goal of this contribution is
to establish an error estimate for a class of degenerate parabolic problems, obtained
under very mild regularity assumptions on the exact solution. Our study covers wellknown
models like the porous medium equation and the fast diffusion equations, as
well as the strongly degenerate Stefan problem. Several schemes are then compared
in a last section devoted to numerical results.
