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...

This paper is concerned with residual type a posteriori error estimators for finite element methods for the Stokes equations. In particular, the authors established a unified approach for deriving and analyzing a posteriori error estimators for velocity-pressure based finite element formulations for the Stokes equations. A general a posteriori error estimator was presented with a unified mathem...

Abstract. An adaptive algorithm, based on residual type a posteriori indicators of errors measured in L∞(L2) and L2(L2) norms, for a numerical scheme consisting of implicit Euler method in time and discontinuous Galerkin method in space for linear parabolic fourth order problems is presented. The a posteriori analysis is performed for convex domains in two and three space dimensions for local s...

A cell conservative flux recovery technique is developed here for vertexcentered finite volume methods of second order elliptic equations. It is based on solving a local Neumann problem on each control volume using mixed finite element methods. The recovered flux is used to construct a constant free a posteriori error estimator which is proven to be reliable and efficient. Some numerical tests ...

We consider an augmented mixed finite element method applied to the linear elasticity problem and derive a posteriori error estimators that are simpler and easier to implement than the ones available in the literature. In the case of homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, the new a posteriori error estimator is reliable and locally efficient, whereas for non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary c...

the proofs of god's existence are among the main questions of philosophers. this question has a special importance in spinoza's works, because it constitutes the basis of his philosophy. in his main work, ethics, he initiates the discussion with the definition of god and ends it up with man's noblest happiness, namely love of god. he deals with the issue in his different works an...

In this thesis we develop and evaluate the performance of adaptive finite element methods for multiphysics problems. In particular, we propose a methodology for deriving computable error estimates when solving unidirectionally coupled multiphysics problems using segregated finite element solvers. The error estimates are of a posteriori type and are derived using the standard framework of dual w...
