چکیده
Using the abstract framework of [10] we analyze a residual a posteriori error estimator for space-time finite element discretizations of parabolic pdes. The estimator gives global upper and local lower bounds on the error of the numerical solution. The finite element discretizations in particular cover the so-called θ-scheme, which includes the implicit and explicit Euler methods and the Crank-Nicholson scheme. As particular examples we consider scalar quasilinear parabolic pdes of 2nd order and the time-dependent incompressible Navier-Stokes equations.

Abstract. We derive a posteriori error estimates in the L∞((0, T ];L∞(Ω)) norm for approximations of solutions to linear parabolic equations. Using the elliptic reconstruction technique introduced by Makridakis and Nochetto and heat kernel estimates for linear parabolic problems, we first prove a posteriori bounds in the maximum norm for semidiscrete finite element approximations. We then estab...

متن کاملElliptic reconstruction and a posteriori error estimates for fully discrete linear parabolic problems
We derive a posteriori error estimates for fully discrete approximations to solutions of linear parabolic equations. The space discretization uses finite element spaces that are allowed to change in time. Our main tool is an appropriate adaptation of the elliptic reconstruction technique, introduced by Makridakis and Nochetto. We derive novel a posteriori estimates for the norms of L∞(0, T ; L2...

متن کاملA Posteriori Error Estimates for Nonlinear Problems. Finite Element Discretizations of Parabolic Equations
We give a general framework for deriving a posteriori error estimates for approximate solutions of nonlinear parabolic problems. In a first step it is proven that the error of the approximate solution can be bounded from above and from below by an appropriate norm of its residual. In a second step this norm of the residual is bounded from above and from below by a similar norm of a suitable fin...
