Two-level a posteriori error estimation for adaptive multilevel stochastic Galerkin FEM
arXiv:2006.02255
Abstract
The paper considers a class of parametric elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs), where the coefficients and the right-hand side function depend on infinitely many (uncertain) parameters. We introduce a two-level a posteriori estimator to control the energy error in multilevel stochastic Galerkin approximations for this class of PDE problems. We prove that the two-level estimator always provides a lower bound for the unknown approximation error, while the upper bound is equivalent to a saturation assumption. We propose and empirically compare three adaptive algorithms, where the structure of the estimator is exploited to perform spatial refinement as well as parametric enrichment. The paper also discusses implementation aspects of computing multilevel stochastic Galerkin approximations.
