A unified approach to a posteriori error estimation using element residual methods.
A unified convergence analysis for local projection stabilisations applied to the Oseen problem
The discretisation of the Oseen problem by finite element methods may suffer in general from two shortcomings. First, the discrete inf-sup (Babuška-Brezzi) condition can be violated. Second, spurious oscillations occur due to the dominating convection. One way to overcome both difficulties is the use of local projection techniques. Studying the local projection method in an abstract setting, we show that the fulfilment of a local inf-sup condition between approximation and projection spaces...

Acceleration of two-grid stabilized mixed finite element method for the Stokes eigenvalue problem
This paper provides an accelerated two-grid stabilized mixed finite element scheme for the Stokes eigenvalue problem based on the pressure projection. With the scheme, the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a fine grid is reduced to the solution of the Stokes eigenvalue problem on a much coarser grid and the solution of a linear algebraic system on the fine grid. By solving a slightly different linear problem on the fine grid, the new algorithm significantly improves the theoretical error...
Accurate and online-efficient evaluation of the a posteriori error bound in the reduced basis method
The reduced basis method is a model reduction technique yielding substantial savings of computational time when a solution to a parametrized equation has to be computed for many values of the parameter. Certification of the approximation is possible by means of an a posteriori error bound. Under appropriate assumptions, this error bound is computed with an algorithm of complexity independent of the size of the full problem. In practice, the evaluation of the error bound can become very sensitive...

Adaptive finite element methods for elliptic problems: Abstract framework and applications
We consider a general abstract framework of a continuous elliptic problem set on a Hilbert space V that is approximated by a family of (discrete) problems set on a finite-dimensional space of finite dimension not necessarily included into V. We give a series of realistic conditions on an error estimator that allows to conclude that the marking strategy of bulk type leads to the geometric convergence of the adaptive algorithm. These conditions are then verified for different concrete problems...

Adaptivity and variational stabilization for convection-diffusion equations
In this paper we propose and analyze stable variational formulations for convection diffusion problems starting from concepts introduced by Sangalli. We derive efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimators that are based on these formulations. The analysis of resulting adaptive solution concepts, when specialized to the setting suggested by Sangalli’s work, reveals partly unexpected phenomena related to the specific nature of the norms induced by the variational formulation. Several remedies,...

An a posteriori error estimate for the Stokes-Brinkman problem in a polygonal domain
We derive a residual based a posteriori error estimate for the Stokes-Brinkman problem on a two-dimensional polygonal domain. We use Taylor-Hood triangular elements. The link to the possible information on the regularity of the problem is discussed.

An equilibrated residual method with a computable error approximation for a singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problem on anisotropic finite element meshes
Singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems exhibit in general solutions with anisotropic features, e.g. strong boundary and/or interior layers. This anisotropy is reflected in a discretization by using meshes with anisotropic elements. The quality of the numerical solution rests on the robustness of the a posteriori error estimator with respect to both, the perturbation parameters of the problem and the anisotropy of the mesh. The equilibrated residual method has been shown to provide one...
An equilibrium finite element method in three-dimensional elasticity
The tetrahedral stress element is introduced and two different types of a finite piecewise linear approximation of the dual elasticity problem are investigated on a polyhedral domain. Fot both types a priori error estimates in -norm and in -norm are established, provided the solution is smooth enough. These estimates are based on the fact that for any polyhedron there exists a strongly regular family of decomprositions into tetrahedra, which is proved in the paper, too.
