چکیده

We consider a twoor three-dimensional time-dependent diffusion-convection-reaction problem and its discretization by the method of characteristics and standard finite elements. We perform the a posteriori error analysis of this discretization and prove optimal error estimates, which lead to an efficient adaptivity strategy both for the time step and the spatial mesh. The estimates are robust with respect to the ratios of the diffusion to the reaction or convection. Some numerical experiments support the theoretical results. Résumé. On considère un problème instationnaire de type diffusion-convection-réaction en dimension 2 ou 3 et sa discrétisation par la méthode des caractéristiques et des éléments finis usuels. On effectue l’analyse d’erreur a posteriori de cette discrétisation et on prouve des estimations optimales de l’erreur qui mènent à une stratégie efficace d’adaptation des pas de temps et des maillages. Les estimations sont uniformes par rapport aux taux de diffusion, de réaction ou de convection. Quelques expériences numériques confirment les résultats théoriques.

A posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$-error estimates with the new version of streamline diffusion method for the wave equation

In this article, we study the new streamline diffusion finite element for treating the linear second order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problem. We prove a posteriori $ L^2(L^2)$ and error estimates for this method under minimal regularity hypothesis. Test problem of an application of the wave equation in the laser is presented to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the method.

ALGEBRAIC NONLINEARITY IN VOLTERRA-HAMMERSTEIN EQUATIONS

Here a posteriori error estimate for the numerical solution of nonlinear Voltena- Hammerstein equations is given. We present an error upper bound for nonlinear Voltena-Hammastein integral equations, in which the form of nonlinearity is algebraic and develop a posteriori error estimate for the recently proposed method of Brunner for these problems (the implicitly linear collocation method)...

A posteriori error estimate for finite volume approximations of nonlinear heat equations

In this contribution we derive a posteriori error estimate for finite volume approximations of nonlinear convection diffusion equations in the L∞(L1)-norm. The problem is discretized implicitly in time by the method of characteristics, and in space by piecewise constant finite volume methods. The analysis is based on a reformulation for finite volume methods. The derived a posteriori error esti...

Joint Bayesian Stochastic Inversion of Well Logs and Seismic Data for Volumetric Uncertainty Analysis

Here in, an application of a new seismic inversion algorithm in one of Iran’s oilfields is described. Stochastic (geostatistical) seismic inversion, as a complementary method to deterministic inversion, is perceived as contribution combination of geostatistics and seismic inversion algorithm. This method integrates information from different data sources with different scales, as prior informat...

On Adaptive Eulerian-Lagrangian Method for Linear Convection-Diffusion Problems

In this paper, we consider the adaptive Eulerian–Lagrangian method (ELM) for linear convection-diffusion problems. Unlike the classical a posteriori error estimations, we estimate the temporal error along the characteristics and derive a new a posteriori error bound for ELM semi-discretization. With the help of this proposed error bound, we are able to show the optimal convergence rate of ELM f...
