Description
Summary:This report analyzes the behavior of three variants of the dual-weighted residual (DWR) error estimates applied to the p-dependent discretization that results from the BR2 discretization of a second-order PDE. Three error estimates are assessed using two metrics: local effectivities and global effectivity. A priori error analysis is carried out to study the convergence behavior of the local and global effectivities of the three estimates. Numerical results verify the a priori error analysis.
