The Adaptive Computation of Far-field Patterns by a Posteriori Error Estimation of Linear Functionals
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper is concerned with the derivation of a priori and a posteriori error bounds for a class of linear functionals arising in electromagnetics which represent the far-field pattern of the scattered electromagnetic field. The a posteriori error bound is implemented into an adaptive finite element algorithm, and a series of numerical experiments is presented.

A Posteriori Error Estimation for Discontinuos Galerkin Approximations of Hyperbolic Systems
This article considers a posteriori error estimation of specified functionals for first-order systems of conservation laws discretized using the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) finite element method. Using duality techniques, we derive exact error representation formulas for both linear and nonlinear functionals given an associated bilinear or nonlinear variational form. Weighted residual approxima...
متن کاملError estimation and adaptive computation for elliptic problems with randomly perturbed data
In this paper we study two linear model problems where stochastic perturbation is present in the data. We present a method for computing stochastic quantities of linear functionals of solutions to these partial differential equations that is based on solving a single dual problem and then, for each realization in the sample, computing an inner product between this dual solution and the data. We...
متن کاملEquivalent 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.
متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimation by Postprocessor Independent of Flowfield Calculation Method
We consider a postprocessor that is able to analyze the flow-field generated by an external (unknown) code so as to determine the error of useful functionals. The residuals generated by the action of a high order finite-difference stencil on a numerically computed flow-field are used for adjoint based a-posteriori error estimation. The method requires information on the physical model (PDE syst...
متن کاملA posteriori error estimation and mesh adaptation for finite element models in elasto-plasticity
A new approach to a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh design based on techniques from optimal control is presented for primal-mixed finite element models in elasto-plasticity. This method uses global duality arguments for deriving weighted a posteriori error bounds for arbitrary functionals of the error representing physical quantities of interest. In these estimates local residuals...
