The Time Projection

After solving this system, we know the temperature at instant and we would like to know its time derivative in order to apply the equation (30). We proceed as presented in section 4.Basicly and where and are the sets of the basis functions at time steps and . The equation which links these variables is the time-stepping scheme:

(46)

We multiply the last expression by and integrate on :
