Adjoint-Based a Posteriori Error Estimation for Coupled Time-Dependent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. We consider time-dependent parabolic problems coupled across a common interface which we formulate using a Lagrange multiplier construction and solve by applying a monolithic solution technique. We derive an adjoint-based a posteriori error representation for a quantity of interest given by a linear functional of the solution. We establish the accuracy of our error representation formula through numerical experimentation and investigate the effect of error in the adjoint solution. Crucially, the error representation affords a distinction between temporal and spatial errors and can be used as a basis for a blockwise time-space refinement strategy. Numerical tests illustrate the efficacy of the refinement strategy by capturing the distinctive behavior of a localized traveling wave solution. The saddle point systems considered here are equivalent to those arising in the mortar finite element technique for parabolic problems.

Equivalent a posteriori error estimates for spectral element solutions of constrained optimal control problem in one dimension
In this paper, we study spectral element approximation for a constrained optimal control problem in one dimension. The equivalent a posteriori error estimators are derived for the control, the state and the adjoint state approximation. Such estimators can be used to construct adaptive spectral elements for the control problems.

In this paper, we perform an a posteriori error analysis of a multiscale operator decomposition finite element method for the solution of a system of coupled elliptic problems. The goal is to compute accurate error estimates that account for the effects arising from multiscale discretization via operator decomposition. Our approach to error estimation is based on a well known a posteriori analy...

The pointwise error of a finite-difference calculation of supersonic flow is discussed. The local truncation error is determined by a Taylor series with the remainder being in a Lagrange form. The contribution of the local truncation error to the total pointwise approximation error is estimated via adjoint parameters. It is demonstrated by numerical tests that the results of the numerical calcu...
متن کاملAdjoint Correction and Bounding of Error Using Lagrange Form of Truncation Term
The a posteriori error evaluation based on differential approximation of a finitedifference scheme and adjoint equations is addressed. The differential approximation is composed of primal equations and a local truncation error determined by a Taylor series in Lagrange form. This approach provides the feasibility of both refining the solution and using the Holder inequality for asymptotic boundi...
