Abstract

A nonlinear Galerkin method for the Burgers equation is considered. Due to the lack of the divergence free condition, the nonlinear term is treated differently compared to that of the Navier-Stokes equations. Strong convergence results are proved for the nonlinear Galerkin method.

Keywords: nonlinear Galerkin method, Burgers equation, convergence
