Abstract

In a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations, the construction of lower bounds for the coercivity and inf-sup stability constants is essential. In [Huynh et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. I Math. 345 (2007) 473–478], the authors presented an efficient method, compatible with an off-line/on-line strategy, where the on-line computation is reduced to minimizing a linear functional under a few linear constraints. These constraints depend on nested sets of parameters obtained iteratively using a greedy algorithm. We improve here this method so that it becomes more efficient and robust due to two related properties: (i) the lower bound is obtained by a monotonic process with respect to the size of the nested sets; (ii) less eigen-problems need to be solved. This improved evaluation of the inf-sup constant is then used to consider a reduced basis approximation of a parameter dependent electromagnetic cavity problem both for the greedy construction of the elements of the basis and the subsequent validation of the reduced basis approximation. The problem we consider has resonance features for some choices of the parameters that are well captured by the methodology.

What is OpenURL?

The OpenURL standard is a protocol for transmission of metadata describing the resource that you wish to access. An OpenURL link contains article metadata and directs it to the OpenURL server of your choice. The OpenURL server can provide access to the resource and also offer complementary services (specific search engine, export of references...). The OpenURL link can be generated by different means.
  • If your librarian has set up your subscription with an OpenURL resolver, OpenURL links appear automatically on the abstract pages.
  • You can define your own OpenURL resolver with your EDPS Account. In this case your choice will be given priority over that of your library.
  • You can use an add-on for your browser (Firefox or I.E.) to display OpenURL links on a page (see http://www.openly.com/openurlref/). You should disable this module if you wish to use the OpenURL server that you or your library have defined.
