✦ Synopsis

We give some fundamental results on the error constants for the piecewise constant interpolation function and the piecewise linear one over triangles. For the piecewise linear one, we mainly analyze the conforming case, but some results are also given for the non-conforming case. We obtain explicit relations for the dependence of such error constants on the geometric parameters of triangles. In particular, we explicitly determine the Babus Λ‡ka-Aziz constant, which plays an essential role in the interpolation error estimation of the linear triangular finite element. The equation for determination is the transcendental equation

, so that the solution can be numerically obtained with desired accuracy and verification. Such highly accurate approximate values for the constant as well as estimates for other constants can be widely used for a priori and a posteriori error estimations in adaptive computation and numerical verification of finite element solutions.

This paper focusses on a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for the L 2-error of the velocity for the nonconforming P~/Po-finite element discretization of the Stokes equations. We derive an a posteriori error estimator which yields a local lower as well as a global upper bound on the error.

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

We consider the h-p finite element method for elliptic problems in one dimension. The strategy for choosing an h-or p-enrichment for an element which is subject to a refinement in an adaptive method is not well understood; in particular, this is the most important open problem associated with h-p-re
