On the a posteriori error analysis for linear Fokker-Planck models in convection-dominated diffusion problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
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). Finally, we present a set of various numerical examples including discussions on mesh adaptivity and space-time discretisation. The numerical results confirm the reliability and efficiency of the error estimates derived.

On Residual-based a Posteriori Error Estimators for Lowest-order Raviart-thomas Element Approximation to Convection-diffusion-reaction Equations
A new technique of residual-type a posteriori error analysis is developed for the lowestorder Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element discretizations of convection-diffusion-reaction equations in twoor three-dimension. Both centered mixed scheme and upwind-weighted mixed scheme are considered. The a posteriori error estimators, derived for the stress variable error plus scalar displacement error in...
متن کاملOn Adaptive Eulerian-Lagrangian Method for Linear Convection-Diffusion Problems
In this paper, we consider the adaptive Eulerian–Lagrangian method (ELM) for linear convection-diffusion problems. Unlike the classical a posteriori error estimations, we estimate the temporal error along the characteristics and derive a new a posteriori error bound for ELM semi-discretization. With the help of this proposed error bound, we are able to show the optimal convergence rate of ELM f...

We considered the motion of DNA molecules through a hexagonal array under uniform electric fields as a Fokker-Planck process which is affected by the entropic barriers and we have simulated this motion by computer. We solved the Fokker-Planck equation with numerical simulation of the Brownian dynamics by the Euler method. For different DNA molecules, under different physical conditions, the mea...
متن کاملSharp L a Posteriori Error Analysis for Nonlinear Convection-diffusion Problems
We derive sharp L∞(L1) a posteriori error estimates for initial boundary value problems of nonlinear convection-diffusion equations of the form ∂u ∂t + div f(u)−∆A(u) = g under the nondegeneracy assumption A′(s) > 0 for any s ∈ R. The problem displays both parabolic and hyperbolic behavior in a way that depends on the solution itself. It is discretized implicitly in time via the method of chara...
متن کاملFunctional a Posteriori Error Estimation for Stationary Convection-diffusion Problems
A functional type a posteriori error estimator for the finite element discretisation of the stationary reaction-convection-diffusion equation is derived. In case of dominant convection, the solution for this class of problems typically exhibits boundary layers and shock-front like areas with steep gradients. This renders the accurate numerical solution very demanding and appropriate techniques ...
