A differential inequality technique is used to determine a lower bound on the blow-up time for solutions to the heat equation subject to a nonlinear boundary condition when blow-up of the solution does occur. In addition, a sufficient condition which implies that blow-up does occur is determined.

In this paper we study numerical approximations for positive solutions of a nonlinear heat equation with a nonlinear boundary condition. We describe in terms of the nonlinearities when solutions of a semidiscretization in space exist globally in time and when they blow up in finite time. We also find the blow-up rates and the blow-up sets. In particular we prove that regional blow-up is not reproduced by the numerical scheme. However, in the appropriate variables we can reproduce the correct blow-up set when the mesh parameter goes to zero.
