Formulations Model problem Strong Formulation Find u such that Vu=f in n2 a =0 on I for a polygonal domain

A posteriori error estimates are arguably more useful than a priori esti mates since we know uh. Bear in mind, however, that (i) in most methods

Dirichlet Model Problems Strong Form Domain: Q =(0, 1) Find u such that (0)=(1)=0 for given f SMA-HPO⊙1999M Poisson in Rl. Formulation 1

1 Motivation The Poisson problem has a strong formulation a minimization formulation and a weak formulation T weak formulations are more general than the strong formulation in terms of regularity and admissible data SLIDE 2 The minimization/weak formulations are defined by: a space X; a bilinear The minimization/weak formulations identify ESSENTIAL boundary conditions NATURAL boundary conditions ed in a The points of departure for the finite element method are the weak formulation(more generally) the minimization statement (if a is SPD) 2 The dirichlet problem 2.1 Strong Formulation Find u such that

Shock Capturing vs. Shock Fitting hocks when the shocks or di n the solution as regions of large gradients without having to give them any special treatment. If we use conservative schemes, the Lax-Wendroff theorem 's. will be to a weak solution We know tha reak solutions satisfy the jump conditions and therefore give the correct shock

Motivation The Poisson problem has a strong formulation; a minimization formulation; and a weak formulation. The minimization/weak formulations are more general than the strong formulation in terms of reqularity and admissible data
