Abstract

Based on a mixed Galerkin approximation, we construct the fully discrete approximations ofU y as well asU to a single-phase quasilinear Stefan problem with a forcing term in non-divergence form. We prove the optimal convergence of approximation to the solution {U,S } and the superconvergence of approximation toU y .
