Guaranteed error bounds for a class of Picard-Lindelöf iteration methods
2013
We present a new version of the Picard-Lindelof method for ordinary dif- ¨ ferential equations (ODEs) supplied with guaranteed and explicitly computable upper bounds of an approximation error. The upper bounds are based on the Ostrowski estimates and the Banach fixed point theorem for contractive operators. The estimates derived in the paper take into account interpolation and integration errors and, therefore, provide objective information on the accuracy of computed approximations. peerReviewed
Rank structured approximation method for quasi--periodic elliptic problems
2016
We consider an iteration method for solving an elliptic type boundary value problem $\mathcal{A} u=f$, where a positive definite operator $\mathcal{A}$ is generated by a quasi--periodic structure with rapidly changing coefficients (typical period is characterized by a small parameter $\epsilon$) . The method is based on using a simpler operator $\mathcal{A}_0$ (inversion of $\mathcal{A}_0$ is much simpler than inversion of $\mathcal{A}$), which can be viewed as a preconditioner for $\mathcal{A}$. We prove contraction of the iteration method and establish explicit estimates of the contraction factor $q$. Certainly the value of $q$ depends on the difference between $\mathcal{A}$ and $\mathcal…
Error bounds for a convexity-preserving interpolation and its limit function
2008
AbstractError bounds between a nonlinear interpolation and the limit function of its associated subdivision scheme are estimated. The bounds can be evaluated without recursive subdivision. We show that this interpolation is convexity preserving, as its associated subdivision scheme. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented.
Computing continuous numerical solutions of matrix differential equations
1995
Abstract In this paper, we construct analytical approximate solutions of initial value problems for the matrix differential equation X ′( t ) = A ( t ) X ( t ) + X ( t ) B ( t ) + L ( t ), with twice continuously differentiable functions A ( t ), B ( t ), and L ( t ), continuous. We determine, in terms of the data, the existence interval of the problem. Given an admissible error e, we construct an approximate solution whose error is smaller than e uniformly, in all the domain.
Continuous numerical solutions of coupled mixed partial differential systems using Fer's factorization
1999
In this paper continuous numerical solutions expressed in terms of matrix exponentials are constructed to approximate time-dependent systems of the type ut A(t)uxx B(t)u=0; 0 0, u(0;t)=u(p;t)=0; u(x;0)=f(x);06 x6p. After truncation of an exact series solution, the numerical solution is constructed using Fer’s factorization. Given >0 and t0;t1; with 0<t0<t1 and D(t0;t1)=f(x;t); 06x6p; t06t6t1g the error of the approximated solution with respect to the exact series solution is less than uniformly in D(t0;t1). An algorithm is also included. c 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. AMS classication: 65M15, 34A50, 35C10, 35A50
Reliable numerical solution of a class of nonlinear elliptic problems generated by the Poisson-Boltzmann equation
2020
We consider a class of nonlinear elliptic problems associated with models in biophysics, which are described by the Poisson-Boltzmann equation (PBE). We prove mathematical correctness of the problem, study a suitable class of approximations, and deduce guaranteed and fully computable bounds of approximation errors. The latter goal is achieved by means of the approach suggested in [S. Repin, A posteriori error estimation for variational problems with uniformly convex functionals. Math. Comp., 69:481-500, 2000] for convex variational problems. Moreover, we establish the error identity, which defines the error measure natural for the considered class of problems and show that it yields computa…
Guaranteed error bounds and local indicators for adaptive solvers using stabilised space-time IgA approximations to parabolic problems
2019
The paper is concerned with space–time IgA approximations to parabolic initial–boundary value problems. We deduce guaranteed and fully computable error bounds adapted to special features of such type of approximations and investigate their efficiency. The derivation of error estimates is based on the analysis of the corresponding integral identity and exploits purely functional arguments in the maximal parabolic regularity setting. The estimates are valid for any approximation from the admissible (energy) class and do not contain mesh-dependent constants. They provide computable and fully guaranteed error bounds for the norms arising in stabilised space–time approximations. Furthermore, a p…
