Fully discrete mixed finite element method is considered to approximate the
solution of a nonlinear second-order parabolic problem. A massively parall
el iterative procedure based on domain decomposition technique is presented
to solve resulting nonlinear algebraic equations. Robin type boundary cond
itions are used to transmit information between subdomains. The convergence
of the iteration for each time step is demonstrated. Optimal-order error e
stimates are also derived. Numerical examples are given. (C) 2000 Elsevier
