Abstract
We describe an efficient solution strategy for nonlinear systems of partial differential equations of the form
We explicitly allow for degeneracy of the viscous term in the sense that we only require Σi,jD′ij (u) ξiξj ≥ 0. The solution strategy is based on operatoi splitting where an abstractly defined Cauchy problem Ut + A(U) = 0, is split into simpler problems V lt + Al(Vl) = 0, by writing A = A1 +…+ Aℓ. If the solution of subproblem I is written Vl(t) = S lt V l0 then the idea is thai an approximate solution of the original problem reads
