Detailed Description

This class implements a goal oriented error indicator, by weighting residual-based estimates from the primal problem against estimates from the adjoint problem.

This is based on a trick suggested by Brian Carnes, (first proposed by Babuska and Miller in 1984) but if it doesn't actually work then the misunderstanding or misimplementation will be the fault of Roy Stogner. It's also Roy's fault there's no literature reference here yet.

void libMesh::AdjointResidualErrorEstimator::estimate_error ( const System system,
ErrorVector error_per_cell,
const NumericVector< Number > *  solution_vector = NULL,
bool  estimate_parent_error = false 
) [virtual]

Compute the adjoint-weighted error on each element and place it in the error_per_cell vector. Note that this->error_norm is ignored; the error estimate is in the seminorm given by the absolute value of the error in the quantity of interest functional. The primal and dual subestimator error_norm values are used, and should be chosen appropriately for your model.

This virtual function can be redefined in derived classes, but by default computes the sum of the error_per_cell for each system in the equation_systems.

Currently this function ignores the error_norm member variable, and uses the function argument error_norms instead.

This function is named estimate_errors instead of estimate_error because otherwise C++ can get confused.

This virtual function can be redefined in derived classes, but by default it calls estimate_error repeatedly to calculate the requested error vectors.

Currently this function ignores the error_norm.weight() values because it calculates each variable's error individually, unscaled.

The user selects which errors get computed by filling a map with error vectors: If errors_per_cell[&system][v] exists, it will be filled with the error values in variable v of system

FIXME: This is a default implementation - derived classes should reimplement it for efficiency.

When estimating the error in a single system, the error_norm is used to control the scaling and norm choice for each variable. Not all estimators will support all norm choices. The default scaling is for all variables to be weighted equally. The default norm choice depends on the error estimator.

Part of this functionality was supported via component_scale and sobolev_order in older libMesh versions, and a small part was supported via component_mask in even older versions. Hopefully the encapsulation here will allow us to avoid changing this API again.

To aid in investigating error estimator behavior, set this string to a suffix with which to plot (prefixed by "primal_" or "dual_") the subestimator results. The suffix should end with a file extension (e.g. ".gmv") that the ErrorVector::plot_error recognizes.
