Popis: In this article, we first revisit the splitting positive definite mixed element method for reaction-diffusion equation, in which the mixed system is symmetric positive definite. And then we apply this technique to the variable coefficient parabolic equation and give the corresponding fully-discrete scheme with second-order central difference formula in time. We study the convergence of the semi-discrete and fully-discrete scheme and derive the error estimates. Finally, we extend this method to chemotaxis model and give the corresponding numerical results, which suggests that it has the ability to recover blowing-up solutions.
