Abstract: For the Stokes equation over 2D and 3D domains, explicit a posteriori and a priori error estimation are novelly developed for the finite element solution. The difficulty in handling the divergence-free condition of the Stokes equation is solved by utilizing the extended hypercircle method along with the Scott-Vogelius finite element scheme. Since all terms in the error estimation have explicit values, by further applying the interval arithmetic and verified computing algorithms, the computed results provide rigorous estimation for the approximation error. As an application of the proposed error estimation, the eigenvalue problem of the Stokes operator is considered and rigorous bounds for the eigenvalues are obtained. The efficiency of proposed error estimation is demonstrated by solving the Stokes equation on both convex and non-convex 3D domains.


In this article, the authors derive a posteriori and a priori error estimates for the Stokes equation in 2D and 3D domains. Here, the major difficulty is the handling of the divergence-free condition. To overcome this challenge, they use the hypercircle method along with the Scott-Vogelius finite element scheme. Further, they apply the a priori error estimation to the eigenvalue estimation problem for the Stokes operator. Finally, some numerical simulations are performed to show the efficiency of the proposed numerical scheme.
