Error analysis for the numerical approximation of the harmonic map heat flow with nodal constraints

Abstract

An error estimate for a canonical discretization of the harmonic map heat flow into spheres is derived. The numerical scheme uses standard finite elements with a nodal treatment of linearized unit-length constraints. The analysis is based on elementary approximation results and only uses the discrete weak formulation.
