Book Chapter
Houston, P. (2017). Adjoint error estimation and adaptivity for hyperbolic problems. In R. Abgrall, & C. Shu (Eds.), Handbook of Numerical Methods for Hyperbolic Problems. Applied and Modern Issues. Elsevier / North Holland

In this article we present an overview of a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh design for hyperbolic/nearly-hyperbolic problems. In particular, we discuss the question of error estimation for general target functionals of the solution; typ... Read More about Adjoint error estimation and adaptivity for hyperbolic problems.

Electrophysiological correlates of error monitoring and feedback processing in second language learning (2017)
Journal Article
