A posteriori estimators for obstacle problems by the hypercircle method
نویسندگان
چکیده
A posteriori error estimates for the obstacle problem are established in the framework of the hypercircle method. To this end, we provide a general theorem of Prager– Synge type. There is now no generic constant in the main term of the estimate. Moreover, the role of edge terms is elucidated, and the analysis also applies to other types of a posteriori error estimators for obstacle problems.

متن کاملAn Equilibrated A Posteriori Error Estimator for the Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin Method
Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) methods for second order elliptic boundary value problems have been derived from a mixed variational formulation of the problem. Numerical flux functions across interelement boundaries play an important role in that theory. Residual type a posteriori error estimators for IPDG methods have been derived and analyzed by many authors including a conver...
متن کاملLocal a Posteriori Error Estimator Based on the Hypercircle Method
The error of the finite element solution of linear elliptic problems can be estimated a posteriori by the classical hypercircle method. This method gives accurate and guaranteed upper bound of the error measured in the energy norm. The disadvantage is that a global dual problem has to be solved, which is quite time-consuming. Combining the hypercircle method with the equilibrated residual metho...

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.
