The inequalities are un<strong>de</strong>rstood coordinate by coordinate.<br />

Lemma 2.1. (Comparison Lemma) Let U and U be a s<strong>up</strong>er and a<br />

subsolution <strong>of</strong> (2.2) <strong>respect</strong>ively, such that <strong>the</strong> initial data verify<br />

Then<br />

U(0) ≥ U(0).<br />

U(t) ≥ U(t).<br />

Pro<strong>of</strong>: Let W = U − U. We can assume, by an approximation<br />

argument, that we have strict inequalities in Definition 2.2 and that<br />

W (0) > δ > 0. We observe that W verifies<br />

Now, s<strong>up</strong>pose that <strong>the</strong> conclusion <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Lemma is false. Thus, let t0<br />

. At that <strong>time</strong>, <strong>the</strong>re must be<br />

be <strong>the</strong> first <strong>time</strong> such that min W (t) = δ<br />

a no<strong>de</strong> j such that wj(t0) = δ<br />

2 . As wj has a minimum <strong>the</strong>re we must<br />

have w ′ j(t0) ≤ 0, but, on <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, by our hypo<strong>the</strong>ses on A,<br />

a contradiction that completes <strong>the</strong> pro<strong>of</strong>. <br />

Next we prove a lemma that ensures that <strong>the</strong> <strong>blow</strong>-<strong>up</strong> rate <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

numerical solutions has <strong>the</strong> same <strong>up</strong>per bound than <strong>the</strong> continuous<br />

ones. And that this bound does not <strong>de</strong>pend on h, <strong>the</strong> mesh size. We<br />

need to assume a technical hypo<strong>the</strong>sis on <strong>the</strong> initial data.<br />
