AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, ETD3-Padé and ETD4-Padé Galerkin finite element methods are proposed and analyzed for nonlinear delayed convection-diffusion-reaction equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions. An ETD-based RK is used for time integration of the corresponding equation. To overcome a well-known difficulty of numerical instability associated with the computation of the exponential operator, the Padé approach is used for such an exponential operator approximation, which in turn leads to the corresponding ETD-Padé schemes. An unconditional $L^2$ numerical stability is proved for the proposed numerical schemes, under a global Lipshitz continuity assumption. In addition, optimal rate error estimates are provided, which gives the convergence order of $O(k^{3}+h^{r})$ (ETD3-Padé) or $O(k^{4}+h^{r})$ (ETD4-Padé) in the $L^2$ norm, respectively. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the robustness of the proposed numerical schemes.</p>
