Abstract

This paper deals with the numerical approximation of certain degenerate
parabolic systems arising from flow problems in porous media with slow adsorption. The
characteristic difficulty of these problems comes from their monotone but non-Lipschitzian
nonlinearity. For a model problem of this type, optimal-order pointwise error estimates
are derived for the spatial semi-discretization by the finite element Galerkin method. The
proof is based on linearization through a parabolic duality argument in L∞(L∞) spaces and
corresponding sharp L1 estimates for regularized parabolic Green functions.
