The time-dependent Stokes equations in two- or three-dimensional bounded domains are discretized by the backward Euler scheme in time and finite elements in space. The error of this discretization is bounded globally from above and locally from below by the sum of two types of computable error indicators, the first one being linked to the time discretization and the second one to the space discretization.

In this paper, we extend the reduced-basis methods and associated a posteriori error estimators developed earlier for elliptic partial differential equations to parabolic problems with affine parameter dependence. The essential new ingredient is the presence of time in the formulation and solution of the problem – we shall “simply” treat time as an additional, albeit special, parameter. First, we introduce the reduced-basis recipe – Galerkin projection onto a space spanned by solutions of the...

Phase-field models, the simplest of which is Allen–Cahn’s problem, are characterized by a small parameter that dictates the interface thickness. These models naturally call for mesh adaptation techniques, which rely on a posteriori error control. However, their error analysis usually deals with the underlying non-monotone nonlinearity via a Gronwall argument which leads to an exponential dependence on . Using an energy argument combined with a topological continuation argument and a spectral...

These models naturally call for mesh adaptation techniques, which rely on a posteriori error control. However, their error analysis usually deals with the underlying non-monotone nonlinearity via a Gronwall argument which leads to an exponential dependence on ε-2.

We derive a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for a discontinuous Galerkin approximation of the Steklov eigenvalue problem. Moreover, we prove the reliability and efficiency of the error estimator. Numerical results are provided to verify our theoretical findings.
The paper presents an a posteriori error estimator for a (piecewise linear) nonconforming finite element approximation of the heat equation in , or 3, using backward Euler’s scheme. For this discretization, we derive a residual indicator, which use a spatial residual indicator based on the jumps of normal and tangential derivatives of the nonconforming approximation and a time residual indicator based on the jump of broken gradients at each time step. Lower and upper bounds form the main results...

In this article we develop a posteriori error estimates for second order linear elliptic problems with point sources in two- and three-dimensional domains. We prove a global upper bound and a local lower bound for the error measured in a weighted Sobolev space. The weight considered is a (positive) power of the distance to the support of the Dirac delta source term, and belongs to the Muckenhoupt’s class A2. The theory hinges on local approximation properties of either Clément or Scott–Zhang interpolation...
We present new a posteriori error estimates for the finite volume approximations of elliptic problems. They are obtained by applying functional a posteriori error estimates to natural extensions of the approximate solution and its flux computed by the finite volume method. The estimates give guaranteed upper bounds for the errors in terms of the primal (energy) norm, dual norm (for fluxes), and also in terms of the combined primal-dual norms. It is shown that the estimates provide sharp upper and...
In this paper we combine the dual-mixed finite element method with a Dirichlet-to-Neumann mapping (given in terms of a boundary integral operator) to solve linear exterior transmission problems in the plane. As a model we consider a second order elliptic equation in divergence form coupled with the Laplace equation in the exterior unbounded region. We show that the resulting mixed variational formulation and an associated discrete scheme using Raviart-Thomas spaces are well posed, and derive the...
Systems of parabolic differential equations are studied in the paper. Two a posteriori error estimates for the approximate solution obtained by the finite element method of lines are presented. A statement on the rate of convergence of the approximation of error by estimator to the error is proved.
We consider a non-conforming stabilized domain decomposition technique for the discretization of the three-dimensional Laplace equation. The aim is to extend the numerical analysis of residual error indicators to this model problem. Two formulations of the problem are considered and the error estimators are studied for both. In the first one, the error estimator provides upper and lower bounds for the energy norm of the mortar finite element solution whereas in the second case, it also estimates...
