A-posteriori error estimation for finite element modifications of line methods applied to singularly perturbed partial differential equations (Q1067386)

The author considers singular perturbed homogeneous Dirichlet boundary value probems \(u_ t=\epsilon u_{xx}-(pu)_ x-qu+f\) (x\(\in (0,1)\), \(t\in (0,T))\) \(u(x,0)=g(x)\) and \(-\epsilon \Delta u+u_ x=f\) (x\(\in (0,1)x(0,1))\). Approximate solution is constructed by means of the finite element approximations via a modification of the method of lines. A posteriori error estimates have been derived for this approximate solution and for the approximate solution arising from the line methods. The obtained realistic, local a posteriori error estimates may be used for refining the mesh automatically on every discrete time.
