A posteriori error estimates for elliptic problems with Dirac measure terms in weighted spaces

Juan Pablo Agnelli, Eduardo M. Garau, Pedro Morin (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

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...

A Posteriori Error Estimates for Finite Volume Approximations

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

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

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...

A posteriori error estimates for linear exterior problems via mixed-FEM and DtN mappings

Mauricio A. Barrientos, Gabriel N. Gatica, Matthias Maischak (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

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...

A posteriori error estimates for the 3 D stabilized Mortar finite element method applied to the Laplace equation

Zakaria Belhachmi (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

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...

A Posteriori Error Estimates on Stars for Convection Diffusion Problem

B. Achchab, A. Agouzal, K. Bouihat (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper, a new a posteriori error estimator for nonconforming convection diffusion approximation problem, which relies on the small discrete problems solution in stars, has been established. It is equivalent to the energy error up to data oscillation without any saturation assumption nor comparison with residual estimator

A posteriori error estimates with post-processing for nonconforming finite elements

Friedhelm Schieweck (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

For a nonconforming finite element approximation of an elliptic model problem, we propose a posteriori error estimates in the energy norm which use as an additive term the “post-processing error” between the original nonconforming finite element solution and an easy computable conforming approximation of that solution. Thus, for the error analysis, the existing theory from the conforming case can be used together with some simple additional arguments. As an essential point, the property is exploited...

A posteriori error estimation for reduced-basis approximation of parametrized elliptic coercive partial differential equations : “convex inverse” bound conditioners

Karen Veroy, Dimitrios V. Rovas, Anthony T. Patera (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present a technique for the rapid and reliable prediction of linear-functional outputs of elliptic coercive partial differential equations with affine parameter dependence. The essential components are (i) (provably) rapidly convergent global reduced-basis approximations – Galerkin projection onto a space W N spanned by solutions of the governing partial differential equation at N selected points in parameter space; (ii) a posteriori error estimation – relaxations of the error-residual equation...

A preconditioner for the FETI-DP method for mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretization

Chunmei Wang (2014)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we consider mortar-type Crouzeix-Raviart element discretizations for second order elliptic problems with discontinuous coefficients. A preconditioner for the FETI-DP method is proposed. We prove that the condition number of the preconditioned operator is bounded by ( 1 + log ( H / h ) ) 2 , where H and h are mesh sizes. Finally, numerical tests are presented to verify the theoretical results.
