A comparison of some a posteriori error estimates for fourth order problems

Segeth, Karel

Similarity:

A lot of papers and books analyze analytical a posteriori error estimates from the point of view of robustness, guaranteed upper bounds, global efficiency, etc. At the same time, adaptive finite element methods have acquired the principal position among algorithms for solving differential problems in many physical and technical applications. In this survey contribution, we present and compare, from the viewpoint of adaptive computation, several recently published error estimation procedures...

A Posteriori Error Estimates for Finite Volume Approximations

S. Cochez-Dhondt, S. Nicaise, S. Repin (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Similarity:

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...

Fast and guaranteed a posteriori error estimator

Vejchodský, Tomáš

Similarity:

The equilibrated residual method and the method of hypercircle are popular methods for a posteriori error estimation for linear elliptic problems. Both these methods are intended to produce guaranteed upper bounds of the energy norm of the error, but the equilibrated residual method is guaranteed only theoretically. The disadvantage of the hypercircle method is its globality, hence slowness. The combination of these two methods leads to local, hence fast, and guaranteed a posteriori...

A posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in the method of lines with mixed finite elements

Jan Brandts (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We will investigate the possibility to use superconvergence results for the mixed finite element discretizations of some time-dependent partial differential equations in the construction of a posteriori error estimators. Since essentially the same approach can be followed in two space dimensions, we will, for simplicity, consider a model problem in one space dimension.
