Abstract

In this article, we consider the discretization of nonlocal coupled parabolic problem within the framework of the virtual element method. The presence of nonlocal coefficients not only makes the computation of the Jacobian more expensive in Newton’s method, but also destroys the sparsity of the Jacobian. In order to resolve this problem, an equivalent formulation that has very simple Jacobian is proposed. We derive the error estimates in the \(L^2\) and \(H^1\) norms. To further reduce the computational complexity, a linearized scheme without compromising the rate of convergence in different norms is proposed. Finally, the theoretical results are justified through numerical experiments over arbitrary polygonal meshes.
