A posteriori error control for discontinuous Galerkin methods for parabolic problems
We derive energy-norm a posteriori error bounds for an Euler time-stepping
method combined with various spatial discontinuous Galerkin schemes for linear
parabolic problems. For accessibility, we address first the spatially
semidiscrete case, and then move to the fully discrete scheme by introducing
the implicit Euler time-stepping. All results are presented in an abstract
setting and then illustrated with particular applications. This enables the
error bounds to hold for a variety of discontinuous Galerkin methods, provided
that energy-norm a posteriori error bounds for the corresponding elliptic
problem are available. To illustrate the method, we apply it to the interior
penalty discontinuous Galerkin method, which requires the derivation of novel a
posteriori error bounds. For the analysis of the time-dependent problems we use
the elliptic reconstruction technique and we deal with the nonconforming part
of the error by deriving appropriate computable a posteriori bounds for it.Comment: 6 figure
A posteriori error bounds for discontinuous Galerkin methods for quasilinear parabolic problems
We derive a posteriori error bounds for a quasilinear parabolic problem,
which is approximated by the -version interior penalty discontinuous
Galerkin method (IPDG). The error is measured in the energy norm. The theory is
developed for the semidiscrete case for simplicity, allowing to focus on the
challenges of a posteriori error control of IPDG space-discretizations of
strictly monotone quasilinear parabolic problems. The a posteriori bounds are
derived using the elliptic reconstruction framework, utilizing available a
posteriori error bounds for the corresponding steady-state elliptic problem.Comment: 8 pages, conference ENUMATH 200
Adaptive discontinuous Galerkin approximations to fourth order parabolic problems
An adaptive algorithm, based on residual type a posteriori indicators of
errors measured in and 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 spatial polynomial degrees . The a posteriori
estimates are then used within an adaptive algorithm, highlighting their
relevance in practical computations, which results into substantial reduction
of computational effort
Multi-Adaptive Time-Integration
Time integration of ODEs or time-dependent PDEs with required resolution of
the fastest time scales of the system, can be very costly if the system
exhibits multiple time scales of different magnitudes. If the different time
scales are localised to different components, corresponding to localisation in
space for a PDE, efficient time integration thus requires that we use different
time steps for different components.
We present an overview of the multi-adaptive Galerkin methods mcG(q) and
mdG(q) recently introduced in a series of papers by the author. In these
methods, the time step sequence is selected individually and adaptively for
each component, based on an a posteriori error estimate of the global error.
The multi-adaptive methods require the solution of large systems of nonlinear
algebraic equations which are solved using explicit-type iterative solvers
(fixed point iteration). If the system is stiff, these iterations may fail to
converge, corresponding to the well-known fact that standard explicit methods
are inefficient for stiff systems. To resolve this problem, we present an
adaptive strategy for explicit time integration of stiff ODEs, in which the
explicit method is adaptively stabilised by a small number of small,
stabilising time steps
