Error estimates for nonlinear convective problems in the finite element method

Kučera, Václav

Similarity:

We describe the basic ideas needed to obtain apriori error estimates for a nonlinear convection diffusion equation discretized by higher order conforming finite elements. For simplicity of presentation, we derive the key estimates under simplified assumptions, e.g. Dirichlet-only boundary conditions. The resulting error estimate is obtained using continuous mathematical induction for the space semi-discrete scheme.

Error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation in linear elasticity

Teemu Luostari, Tomi Huttunen, Peter Monk (2013)

Similarity:

We prove error estimates for the ultra weak variational formulation (UWVF) in 3D linear elasticity. We show that the UWVF of Navier’s equation can be derived as an upwind discontinuous Galerkin method. Using this observation, error estimates are investigated applying techniques from the theory of discontinuous Galerkin methods. In particular, we derive a basic error estimate for the UWVF in a discontinuous Galerkin type norm and then an error estimate in the L() norm in terms of the...

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...

Complementarity - the way towards guaranteed error estimates

Vejchodský, Tomáš

Similarity:

This paper presents a review of the complementary technique with the emphasis on computable and guaranteed upper bounds of the approximation error. For simplicity, the approach is described on a numerical solution of the Poisson problem. We derive the complementary error bounds, prove their fundamental properties, present the method of hypercircle, mention possible generalizations and show a couple of numerical examples.
