APMA 2811E - A Posteriori Estimates for Finite Element Methods

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This course gives an introduction to the the basic concepts of a posteriori estimates of finite element methods. After an overview of different techniques the main focus will be shed on residual based estimates where as a starting point the Laplace operator is analyzed. Effectivity and reliability of the error estimator will be proven. In a second part of the course, students will either study research articles and present them or implement the error estimates for some specific problem and present their numerical results. Recommended prerequisites: basic knowledge in finite elements, APMA 2550, 2560, 2570.
