Title: Error Estimates for p-Version Finite Element Approximations of Hierarchical Models Applied to Heat Conduction in Multi-Layered Plates

Dr. Hideaki Kaneko
Department of Mathematics and Statistics
Old Dominion University

In this talk, we consider a hierarchical finite element method for heat conduction in multi-layered plates. A priori as well as a posteriori error estimates will be presented. Particularly, an analysis of the equilibrated residual method for obtaining a posteriori error estimation is discussed in detail.
