Abstract

The aim of this paper is the derivation of an a-posteriori error estimate for a numerical method based on an exponential scheme in time and spectral Galerkin methods in space. We obtain analytically a rigorous bound on the mean square error conditioned to the calculated data, which is numerically computable and uses the given numerical approximation. Thus one can check a-posteriori the error for a given numerical computation without relying on an asymptotic result. All estimates are only based on the numerical data and the structure of the equation, but they do not use any a-priori information of the solution, which makes the approach applicable to equations where global existence of solutions is not known. For simplicity of presentation, we develop the method here in a relatively simple situation of a stable one-dimensional Allen-Cahn equation with additive forcing.
