A Posteriori Error Analysis of a Cell-centered Finite Volume Method for Semilinear Elliptic Problems

Journal Article · · Applied Numerical Mathematics
OSTI ID:968550

In this paper, we conduct an a posteriori analysis for the error in a quantity of interest computed from a cell-centered finite volume scheme. The a posteriori error analysis is based on variational analysis, residual error and the adjoint problem. To carry out the analysis, we use an equivalence between the cell-centered finite volume scheme and a mixed finite element method with special choice of quadrature.
