Abstract:   This paper concerns the study of the numerical approximation for a semilinear parabolic equation with Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions and a potential. Under some conditions, we show that the solution of a semidiscrete form of the above problem quenches in a finite time and estimate its semidiscrete quenching time. We also establish the convergence of the semidiscrete quenching time, and finally, we give some numerical experiments to illustrate our analysis.

Keywords:   semidiscretization, semilinear parabolic equation, semidis- crete quenching time, convergence
