Estimating spatial and parameter error in parameterized nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations
A new approach is proposed for the a posteriori error estimation of both global spatial and parameter error in parameterized nonlinear reaction-diffusion problems. The technique is based on linear equations relating the linearized spatial and parameter error to the weak residual. Computable local element error indicators are derived for local contributions to the global spatial and parameter error, along with corresponding global error indicators. The effectiveness of the error indicators is demonstrated using model problems for the case of regular points and simple turning points. In addition, a new turning point predictor and adaptive algorithm for accurately computing turning points are introduced.
