In this paper we consider the numerical solution of PDEs with blow-up for which scaling invariance plays a natural role in describing the underlying solution structures. It is a challenging numerical problem to capture the qualitative behaviour in the blow-up region, and the use of nonuniform meshes is essential. We consider moving mesh methods for which the mesh is determined using so-called moving mesh partial differential equations (MMPDEs). Specifically, the underlying PDE and the MMPDE are…
