Algorithm to adjust a model using an a posteriori estimate.

Mostafa Abaali, Zoubida Mghazli

Abstract



In many fields of scientific computing, the equations are well known but the coefficients are usually empirical functions which depend on some parameters difficult the evaluate exactly. These functions are approximated and a modeling error is then committed. In this work we focus on the elliptic nonlinear equation, with coefficients changing the behaviour to an unknown value hs. These coefficients are then approximated. We prove an a priori and an a posteriori estimates on the modeling error. The later estimates allows us -via local indicators- to build an adaptive algorithm to control the modeling error and automatically determine the ”best” approximation of hs. Numerical results confirm the convergence of this procedure and the interest of this approach.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
