Explicit error bounds in a conforming finite element method
نویسندگان
چکیده
The goal of this paper is to define a procedure for bounding the error in a conforming finite element method. The new point is that this upper bound is fully explicit and can be computed locally. Numerical tests prove the efficiency of the method. It is presented here for the case of the Poisson equation and a first order finite element approximation.

A C-Conforming Finite Element Method for Nonlinear Fourth-Order hyperbolic Equation
In this paper, the C-conforming finite element method is analyzed for a class of nonlinear fourth-order hyperbolic partial differential equation. Some a priori bounds are derived using Lyapunov functional, and existence, uniqueness and regularity for the weak solutions are proved. Optimal error estimates are derived for both semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. Keywords—Nonlinear fourth-ord...
متن کاملA posteriori error estimates for nonconforming finite element methods for fourth-order problems on rectangles
The a posteriori error analysis of conforming finite element discretisations of the biharmonic problem for plates is well established, but nonconforming discretisations are more easy to implement in practice. The a posteriori error analysis for the Morley plate element appears very particular because two edge contributions from an integration by parts vanish simultaneously. This miracle does no...
متن کاملA unified framework for a posteriori error estimation for the Stokes problem
In this paper, a unified framework for a posteriori error estimation for the Stokes problem is developed. It is based on [H 0 (Ω)] -conforming velocity reconstruction and H(div, Ω)-conforming, locally conservative flux (stress) reconstruction. It gives guaranteed, fully computable global upper bounds as well as local lower bounds on the energy error. In order to apply this framework to a given ...
متن کاملA Synthesis of A Posteriori Error Estimation Techniques for Conforming, Non-Conforming and Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Methods
A posteriori error estimation for conforming, non-conforming and discontinuous finite element schemes are discussed within a single framework. By dealing with three ostensibly different schemes under the same umbrella, the same common underlying principles at work in each case are highlighted leading to a clearer understanding of the issues involved. The ideas are presented in the context of pi...
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimators for Nonconforming Approximation
In this paper, an alternative approach for constructing an a posteriori error estimator for non-conforming approximation of scalar elliptic equation is introduced. The approach is based on the usage of post-processing conforming finite element approximation of the non-conforming solution . Then, the compatible a posteriori error estimator is defined by the local norms of difference between the ...
