Abstract
This paper establishes continuous and discrete two-sided estimates for a class of quasilinear parabolic convection–diffusion–reaction equations with unbounded nonlinearities and reaction coefficients of arbitrary sign. For nonpositive reaction coefficients, rigorous continuous two-sided bounds are derived for classical solutions, together with an a priori estimate in the strong C-norm. These results extend, in a structurally coherent manner, the corresponding theory available for linear parabolic problems. For reaction coefficients of arbitrary sign, second-order unconditionally monotone schemes are constructed. By applying the Ladyzhenskaya transformation u = veλt, alternative discrete two-sided estimates are derived for the numerical solution and shown to be fully consistent with their continuous counterparts. Finally, convergence of the developed schemes is rigorously proved in the L2-norm.
