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 well-known 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.
