摘要

In this paper, we present an optimal convergence analysis for virtual element method (VEM) of strongly nonlinear parabolic problems on general polygonal meshes. A linearized second-order backward difference formula (BDF2) is applied for the time discretization. To address the challenges associated with the nonlinear capacity term and the diffusion coefficient, we introduce a temporal-spatial error splitting technique that separates errors in the temporal and spatial directions and employs two virtual element projection operators. With the help of the time-discrete system, we establish the unconditional boundedness of the numerical solution in the \(L^{\infty }\) L -norm and prove optimal error estimates without any time-step restrictions. Numerical experiments are provided to confirm the theoretical results.
