Solution of the time discretized Stefan problem by Newton’s method. (English) Zbl 0709.65107

The authors discuss the problem arising by applying Newton’s method to the time discretized Stefan problem. Both global and local convergence theorems of the method are given. To illustrate the convergence behavior, the authors also give some numerical examples.
