The a Posteriori Error Estimates for Chebyshev-Galerkin Spectral Methods in One Dimension

In this paper,the Chebyshev-Galerkin spectral approximations are em-ployed to investigate Poisson equations and the fourth order equations in one dimen-sion.Meanwhile,p-version finite element methods with Chebyshev polynomials are utilized to solve Poisson equations.The efficient and reliable a posteriori error esti-mators are given for different models.Furthermore,the a priori error estimators are derived independently.Some numerical experiments are performed to verify the the-oretical analysis for the a posteriori error indicators and a priori error estimations.
