We define an a posteriori verification procedure that enables to control and certify PGD-based model reduction techniques applied to parametrized linear elliptic or parabolic problems. Using the concept of constitutive relation error, it provides guaranteed and fully computable global/goal-oriented error estimates taking both discretization and PGD truncation errors into account. Splitting the error sources, it also leads to a natural greedy adaptive strategy which can be driven in order to optimize the accuracy of PGD approximations. The focus of the paper is on two technical points : (i) construction of equilibrated fields required to compute guaranteed error bounds ; (ii) error splitting and adaptive process when performing PGD-based model reduction. Performances of the proposed verification and adaptation tools are shown on several multi-parameter mechanical problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
