11 Overview Errors We Always Incur Error Algebraic systems - error in linear/nonlinear solver ODE s/pde s - error in space/time discretization, error in linear/nonlinear solver Control Your Error! We must always control our error Even more crucial to quantify the error in the context of UQ analyses If the error in solution of the mathematical model similar to the uncertainty, UQ analysis isn t very meaningful We will focus only on spatial discretization error (not time error or solver error) P.

12 Overview Error Estimation...in the Context of UQ Could try to treat discretization as an uncertain parameter and adopt other UQ strategies to estimate error uncertainty I ve heard of this idea, but have not seen it used so much This is not the point-of-view I take Error is deterministic and we must simply set tolerances which are acceptable for the analysis at hand and use estimation and control strategies to meet that tolerance Many of the ideas discussed here are being adapted to estimate and control error in parameter space Hence, examining and understanding these ideas can bear fruit in new contexts P.

17 Preliminaries Notation The interior integral is broken up over elements: N e u h v h dx = u h v h dx Ω h Ω e e=1 and each function is written in terms of its basis function: N s u h = u i φ i (x) i=1 N s v h = c i φ i (x) i=1 where u i are the degrees of freedom and c i is arbitrary Shape functions φ i (x) are typically polynomials P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

18 Preliminaries Notation We will need the notation for the L 2 inner product: L 2 inner product ( u, v) = Ω u v dx The theory of error estimation is developed using the language of bilinear and semilinear forms: Bilinear Form for Laplace B(u, v) = ( u, v) F (v) = (f, v) Ω h N gv h ds so that the weak form of the model Laplace problem is B(u, v) = F (v) P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

19 Error Control through Mesh Adaptation Mesh Adaptation What is a mesh? A collection of points (called nodes) connected together to form shapes (called elements) Over each element, we define a finite element that contains information of the function representation (degrees of freedom, shape functions, etc) The more elements and nodes we have, the better we can resolve the function we are studying (solution of a differential equation) What do we mean by mesh adaptation/refinement? We refine a mesh by adding more degrees of freedom This helps give better resolution to the function we wish to compute Carefully choosing where to refine the mesh can greatly accelerate convergence to the desired solution P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

20 Error Control through Mesh Adaptation Types of Mesh Refinement h-adaptivity Break existing elements into smaller subelements h, the size of the element, shrinks p-adaptivity Raise the order of approximation of the basis functions For example, make the element use quadratic basis functions instead of linear hp-adaptivity Strategies combining both h-adaptivity and p-adaptivity Use optimization algorithms to decide which (both?) types of adaptation to perform on the element P.

22 Error Control through Mesh Adaptation Hanging Nodes Locally h-refining elements naturally leads to the presence of hanging nodes Dealing with Hanging Nodes Can add buffer elements and/or force neighboring refinements to avoid hanging nodes Can cause unnecessary proliferation of element refinement Creating buffer zones, especially in 3D, can be challenging to implement More commonly, enforce continuity of the solution (for discontinuous methods, there s nothing to do) For Lagrange basis functions, simply interpolating is adequate For more exotic elements/formulations, need to be careful to preserve the approximation Resort to projection-based interpolation strategies: interpolate at the nodes, project onto the edge degrees of freedom, project onto faces, project into the interior P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

23 Error Control through Mesh Adaptation Nonconforming Meshes When hanging nodes are present, we say the mesh is nonconforming If there are, at most, n hanging nodes on any element side, we say the mesh is an n-irregular mesh Although some software packages support more than 1-irregular meshes, it is very uncommon for such meshes to be used Practical difficulty of implementation Enforcing 1-irregularity forces some transition between the size of the elements Can lose conformity of the approximation with greater than 1-irregularity [12] P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

24 Error Control through Mesh Adaptation Mesh Redistribution Can adjust the mesh without changing its topology (how the elements/nodes are connected) One common operation is mesh smoothing Generated meshes can have sharp interfaces, skewed elements, etc. Solve a PDE (typically a form of the Laplace equation) to adjust the position of the nodes without changing the connectivity to improve the quality of the mesh A related idea is mesh redistribution where the nodes are redistributed to capture some desired feature One common example is shocks [7] P.

37 Error Estimation for Discretized PDE s Error Estimation in General Two general flavors of error analysis: a priori Error Analysis From the earlier Analysis carried out before computations to assess convergence characteristics, etc. E.g. u u h Ch 2 Classical numerical analysis a posteriori Error Analysis From the later Analysis carried out following computation Used to guide adaptive refinement, etc. P.

The second sum leads to a physics-independent method for estimating the error in the approximate solution u h. P. T. Bauman Error Estimation and Adaptivity August 14, / 112

40 Error Estimation for Discretized PDE s Flux Jump Error Indicator Pros Cons Ideal for low-order (piecewise linear) elements Easily extensible to adaptivity with hanging nodes Works well in practice for nonlinear, time-dependent problems, and problems with shocks, layers, discontinuities, etc. For higher-order elements, the interior residual term may dominate Relatively expensive to compute Makes no sense for discontinuous and C 1 FE bases P.

43 Error Estimation for Discretized PDE s QoI-based Error Estimation What do you really want to compute? Thus far, have focused on error estimates for u u h Very often, we re not interested in u itself, but rather some functional of u, Q(u) We call Q(u) the quantity of interest Examples: Stress in a local region Maximum heat flux on a surface Local vorticity Thus, we would instead prefer to estimate the error Q(u) Q(u h ) One theory for developing such error estimates follows an optimal control approach P.

71 Modeling Error Estimation and Adaptivity Model Adaptivity What is Model Adaptivity? Domain is partitioned into cells For simplicity, typically coincides with underlying discretization, but is not necessary Each cell has an identifier as to which model is activated in that cell Refining the model means which update the cell to locally use the base model instead of the approximate model As with mesh adaptivity, this is driven by computed local error indicators When QoI-based error estimators are used, such algorithms have been referred to as Goals algorithms P.

149 Contemporary Issues Boundary Flux QoI s Boundary derivatives are a common example of a QoI However, depending on the problem that we are solving, such QoI s may not be well defined This is related to the regularity of the solution, Sobolev spaces, and the Trace theorem In particular, we may not get a well posed adjoint problem Must modify the formulation in order to have well defined adjoint solution Example in electroosmosis, part of Vikram Garg s PhD work [14, 13] P.
