Abstract

We define a combined edge FV-FE scheme for a bone healing model. This choice of discretization allows to take into account anisotropic diffusions and does not impose any restrictions on the mesh. Moreover, following [3], we propose a nonlinear correction to obtain a monotone scheme. We present some numerical experiments which show its good behavior.
