چکیده

In this paper, we consider variational inequalities related to problems with nonlinear boundary conditions. We are focused on deriving a posteriori estimates of the difference between exact solutions of such type variational inequalities and any function lying in the admissible functional class of the problem considered. These estimates are obtained by an advanced version of the variational approach earlier used for problems with uniformly convex functionals (see [13, 15]). It is shown that the structure of error majorants reflects properties of the exact solution. The majorants provide guaranteed upper bounds of the error for any conforming approximation and possess necessary continuity properties. In the series of numerical tests performed, it was shown that the estimates are explicitly computable, provide sharp bounds of approximation errors, and give high quality indication of the distribution of local (elementwise) errors.

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.

Error estimation and adaptivity for incompressible hyperelasticity

A Galerkin FEM is developed for nonlinear, incompressible (hyper) elasticity that takes account of nonlinearities in both the strain tensor and the relationship between the strain tensor and the stress tensor. By using suitably defined linearised dual problems with appropriate boundary conditions, a posteriori error estimates are then derived for both linear functionals of the solution and line...

Adaptive FE–BE Coupling for Strongly Nonlinear Transmission Problems with Friction II

This article discusses the well-posedness and error analysis of the coupling of finite and boundary elements for transmission or contact problems in nonlinear elasticity. It concerns “pseudoplastic”, p–Laplacian-type Hencky materials with an unbounded stress–strain relation, as they arise in the modelling of ice sheets, non-Newtonian fluids or porous media. For 1 < p < 2 the bilinear form of th...

On the a posteriori error analysis for linear Fokker-Planck models in convection-dominated diffusion problems

This work is aimed at the derivation of reliable and efficient a posteriori error estimates for convectiondominated diffusion problems motivated by a linear Fokker-Planck problem appearing in computational neuroscience. We obtain computable error bounds of functional type for the static and time-dependent case and for different boundary conditions (mixed and pure Neumann boundary conditions). F...
