Title
Convergent discretizations for the Nernst–Planck–Poisson system
Abstract
We propose and compare two classes of convergent finite element based approximations of the nonstationary Nernst–Planck–Poisson equations, whose constructions are motivated from energy versus entropy decay properties for the limiting system. Solutions of both schemes converge to weak solutions of the limiting problem for discretization parameters tending to zero. Our main focus is to study qualitative properties for the different approaches at finite discretization scales, like conservation of mass, non-negativity, discrete maximum principle, decay of discrete energies, and entropies to study long-time asymptotics.
