The aim of this paper is to prove convergence of numerical approximate solutions towards the unique entropy solution. We propose an implicit finite volume scheme on admissible mesh. We establish fundamental estimates and prove that the approximate solution converge towards an entropy-process solution. Contrarily to the case of Dirichlet condition, in zero-flux problem unnatural boundary regularity of the flux is required to establish that entropyprocess solution is the unique entropy solution. In the study of well-posedness of the problem, tools of nonlinear semigroup theory (stationary, mild and integral solutions) were used in order to overcome this difficulty. Indeed, in some situations including the one-dimensional setting, solutions of the stationary problem enjoy additional boundary regularity. Here, similar arguments are developed based on the new notion of integral-process solution that we introduce for this purpose.102220241022202468270571https://wseas.com/journals/mathematics/2024/b445106-036(2024).pdf10.37394/23206.2024.23.71https://wseas.com/journals/mathematics/2024/b445106-036(2024).pdf10.1007/s00033-012-0297-6Andreianov, B. and Karimou Gazibo, M., Entropy Formulation of Degenerate Parabolic Equation with Zero-Flux Boundary Condition.
