MiS Preprint Repository
We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server end of 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.
Function, Gradient and Hessian Recovery Using Quadratic Edge-Bump Functions
Jeffrey OvallAbstract
An approximate error function for the discretization error on a given mesh is obtained by projecting (via the energy inner product) the functional residual onto the space of continuous, piecewise quadratic functions which vanish on the vertices of the mesh. Conditions are given under which one can expect this hierarchical basis error estimator to give efficient and reliable function recovery, asymptotically exact gradient recovery and convergent Hessian recovery in the square norms. One does not find similar function recovery results in the literature. The analysis given here is based on a certain superconvergence result which has been used elsewhere in the analysis of gradient recovery methods. Numerical experiments are provided which demonstrate the effectivity of the approximate error function in practice.
