A class of pseudo-parabolic partial differential equations is considered. We derive a posteriori error bounds for approximations obtained by FEMs in space and a BDF formula in time. The analysis is based on the $C_0$ semigroup theory and an adaptation of the concept of elliptic reconstruction to pseudo-parabolic problems. The analysis is complemented with numerical experiments.
A class of linear parabolic equations are considered. We derive a common framework for the a posteriori error analysis of certain second-order time discretisations combined with finite element discretisations in space. In particular we study the Crank-Nicolson method, the extrapolated Euler method, the backward differentiation formula of order 2 (BDF-2), the Lobatto IIIC method and a two-stage SDIRK method. We use the idea of elliptic reconstructions and certain bounds for the Green's function of the parabolic operator.
A posteriori error estimates in the maximum norm are studied for various time-semidiscretisations applied to a class of linear parabolic equations. We summarise results from the literature and present some new improved error bounds. Crucial ingredients are certain bounds in the $L_1$ norm for the Green's function associated with the parabolic operator and its derivatives.
