Abstract An a posteriori error estimate is derived for the approximation of the transport equation with a time dependent transport velocity. Continuous, piecewise linear, anisotropic finite elements are used for space discretization, the Crank-Nicolson scheme scheme is proposed for time discretization. This paper is a generalization of Dubuis S, Picasso M (J Sci Comput 75(1):350–375, 2018) where the transport velocity was not depending on time. The a posteriori error estimate (upper bound) is shown to be sharp for anisotropic meshes, the involved constant being independent of the mesh aspect ratio. A quadratic reconstruction of the numerical solution is introduced in order to obtain an estimate that is order two in time. Error indicators corresponding to space and time are proposed, their accuracy is checked with non-adapted meshes and constant time steps. Then, an adaptive algorithm is introduced, allowing to adapt the meshes and time steps. Numerical experiments are presented when the exact solution has strong variations in space and time, illustrating the efficiency of the method. They indicate that the effectivity index is close to one and does not depend on the solution, mesh size, aspect ratio, and time step.

In this work we introduce a new a posteriori error estimate of hierarchical type for the advection-diffusion-reaction equation. We prove the equivalence between the energy norm of the error and our error estimate using an auxiliary linear problem for the residual and an easy way to prove inf–sup condition.

Abstract This article presents the solution of a special inverse elastography problem: knowing vertical displacements of compressed biological tissue to find a piecewise constant distribution of Young’s modulus in an investigated specimen. Our goal is to detect homogeneous inclusions in the tissue, which can be interpreted as oncological. To this end, we consider the specimen as two-dimensional elastic solid, displacements of which satisfy the differential equations of the linear static theory of elasticity in the plain strain statement. The inclusions to be found are specified by parametric functions with unknown geometric parameters and unknown Young’s modulus. Reducing this inverse problem to the search for all unknown parameters, we solve it applying the modified method of extending compacts by V. K. Ivanov and I. N. Dombrovskaya. A posteriori error estimate is carried out for the obtained approximate solutions.
