Feistauer, M. (ed.) et al., Numerical mathematics and advanced applications. Proceedings of ENUMATH 2003, the 5th European conference on numerical mathematics and advanced applications, Prague, Czech Republic, August 18–22, 2003. Berlin: Springer (ISBN 3-540-21460-7/hbk). 716-725 (2004).
Summary: A new a posteriori error estimator is presented for the verification of the dimensionally reduced models stemming from the elliptic problems on thin domains. The original problem is considered in a general setting, without any specific assumptions on the domain geometry, coefficients and the right-hand sides. The estimator provides a guaranteed upper bound for the modelling error in the energy norm, exhibits the optimal convergence rate as the domain thickness tends to zero and accurately indicates the local error distribution.
