We analyze an a posteriori error estimator for nonlinear parabolic differential equations in several space dimensions. The spatial discretization is carried out using the p-version of the finite element method. The error estimates are obtained by solving an elliptic problem at the desired times when

✦ Synopsis
In this paper, three a posteriori error estimators of the error in the semidiscrete ®nite element solution (discrete in space and continuous in time) of parabolic partial dierential equations are analyzed. This approach is based on a posteriori error estimators for the elliptic PDEs. It is proven that guaranteed (resp. asymptotically exact) a posteriori error estimator for the elliptic problem yields the guaranteed (resp. asymptotically exact) estimator for the parabolic problem.

Two-and multilevel truncated Newton finite element discretizations are presently a very promising approach for approximating the (nonlinear) Navier-Stokes equations describing the equilibrium flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid. Their combination with mesh adaptivity is considered in this articl
