β¦ Synopsis
We present a scheme for solving two-dimensional, nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations,
using a mixed finite-element method. To linearize the mixed-method equations, we use a two grid scheme that relegates all the Newton-like iterations to a grid H much coarser than the original one h , with no loss in order of accuracy so long as the mesh sizes obey H = O( β h). The use of a multigrid-based solver for the indefinite linear systems that arise at each coarse-grid iteration, as well as for the similar system that arises on the fine grid, allows for even greater efficiency.

In this paper the diffusion equation is solved in two-dimensional geometry by the dual reciprocity boundary element method (DRBEM). It is structured by fully implicit discretization over time and by weighting with the fundamental solution of the Laplace equation. The resulting domain integral of the
