Abstract
This paper studies bulk-surface splitting methods of first order for (semilinear) parabolic partial differential equations with dynamic boundary conditions. The proposed Lie splitting scheme is based on a reformulation of the problem as a coupled partial differential-algebraic equation system, i.e., the boundary conditions are considered as a second dynamic equation that is coupled to the bulk problem. The splitting approach is combined with bulk-surface finite elements and an implicit Euler discretization of the two subsystems. We prove first-order convergence of the resulting fully discrete scheme in the presence of a weak CFL condition of the form tau <= ch for some constant c > 0. The convergence is also illustrated numerically using dynamic boundary conditions of Allen-Cahn type.
