Reliable a-posteriori error estimators for -adaptive finite element approximations of eigenvalue/eigenvector problems
We present reliable a-posteriori error estimates for -adaptive finite
element approximations of eigenvalue/eigenvector problems. Starting from our
earlier work on adaptive finite element approximations we show a way to
obtain reliable and efficient a-posteriori estimates in the -setting. At
the core of our analysis is the reduction of the problem on the analysis of the
associated boundary value problem. We start from the analysis of Wohlmuth and
Melenk and combine this with our a-posteriori estimation framework to obtain
eigenvalue/eigenvector approximation bounds.Comment: submitte
Adjoint-Based Error Estimation and Mesh Adaptation for Hybridized Discontinuous Galerkin Methods
We present a robust and efficient target-based mesh adaptation methodology,
building on hybridized discontinuous Galerkin schemes for (nonlinear)
convection-diffusion problems, including the compressible Euler and
Navier-Stokes equations. Hybridization of finite element discretizations has
the main advantage, that the resulting set of algebraic equations has globally
coupled degrees of freedom only on the skeleton of the computational mesh.
Consequently, solving for these degrees of freedom involves the solution of a
potentially much smaller system. This not only reduces storage requirements,
but also allows for a faster solution with iterative solvers. The mesh
adaptation is driven by an error estimate obtained via a discrete adjoint
approach. Furthermore, the computed target functional can be corrected with
this error estimate to obtain an even more accurate value. The aim of this
paper is twofold: Firstly, to show the superiority of adjoint-based mesh
adaptation over uniform and residual-based mesh refinement, and secondly to
investigate the efficiency of the global error estimate
