  Abstract:

This paper concerns the study of the numerical approximation for the following initial-boundary value problem:

$displaystyle left{ begin{array}{ll} hbox{$u_t=u_{xx} -avert uvert^{p-1}u... ... [5pt] hbox{$u(x,0)=u_{0}(x)>0,quad 0leq x leq 1$,} & end{array} right.$ (P)
where $ a>0$, $ b>0$ and $ q>p>1$. We show that the solution of a semidiscrete form of (P) goes to zero as $ t$ goes to infinity and give its asymptotic behavior. Using some nonstandard schemes, we also prove some estimates of solutions for discrete forms of (P). Finally, we give some numerical experiments to illustrate our analysis. ;
