Functional a posteriori error estimates for parabolic obstacle problems

Analysis of PDEs 2021-09-30 v1

Abstract

The paper is concerned with functional type a posteriori estimates for the initial boundary value problem for a parabolic partial differential equation with an obstacle. We deduce a guaranteed and computable bound of the distance between the exact minimizer and any function from the admissible (energy) class of functions. Applications to the analysis of modeling errors caused by data implification are discussed. An important case of time incremental approximations is specially studied. Numerical examples presented in the last section show how the estimates work in practice.
