We derive error estimates for singularly perturbed reaction–diffusion problems which yield a guaranteed upper bound on the discretization error and are fully and easily computable. Moreover, they are also locally efficient and robust in the sense that they represent local lower bounds for the actual error, up to a generic constant independent in particular of the reaction coefficient. We present our results in the framework of the vertex-centered finite volume method but their nature...

A posteriori error analysis of Euler-Galerkin approximations to coupled elliptic-parabolic problems

Similarity:

We analyze Euler-Galerkin approximations (conforming finite elements in space and implicit Euler in time) to coupled PDE systems in which one dependent variable, say u , is governed by an elliptic equation and the other, say p , by a parabolic-like equation. The underlying application is the poroelasticity system within the quasi-static assumption. Different polynomial orders are used for the u - and p -components to obtain optimally convergent a priori bounds for all the terms in the error...

Robust a posteriori error estimates for finite element discretizations of the heat equation with discontinuous coefficients

Similarity:

In this work we derive a posteriori error estimates based on equations residuals for the heat equation with discontinuous diffusivity coefficients. The estimates are based on a fully discrete scheme based on conforming finite elements in each time slab and on the A-stable θ -scheme with 1 / 2 ≤ θ ≤ 1 . Following remarks of [Picasso, Comput. Methods Appl. Mech. Engrg. 167 (1998) 223–237; Verfürth, Calcolo 40 (2003) 195–212] it is easy to identify a time-discretization error-estimator and a space-discretization...
