A posteriori error estimates of hp spectral element method for parabolic optimal control problems

<abstract><p>In this paper, we investigate the spectral element approximation for the optimal control problem of parabolic equation, and present a hp spectral element approximation scheme for the parabolic optimal control problem. For improve the accuracy of the algorithm and construct an adaptive finite element approximation. Under the Scott-Zhang type quasi-interpolation operator, a $ L^2(H^1)-L^2(L^2) $ posteriori error estimates of the hp spectral element approximated solutions for both the state variables and the control variable are obtained. Adopting two auxiliary equations and stability results, a $ L^2(L^2)-L^2(L^2) $ posteriori error estimates are derived for the hp spectral element approximation of optimal parabolic control problem.</p></abstract>

A Triangular Spectral Element Method for the 2-D Viscous Burgers Equation

A triangular spectral element method is established for the two-dimensional viscous Burgers equation. In the spatial direction, a new type of mapping is applied. We splice the local basis functions on each triangle into a global basis function. The second-order Crank-Nicolson/ leap-frog (CNLF) method is used for discretization in the time direction. Due to the use of a quasi-interpolation operator, the nonlinear term can be handled conveniently. We give the fully discrete scheme of the method and the implementation process of the algorithm. Numerical examples verify the effectiveness of this method.
