Classical a posteriori error analysis for differential equations quantifies the error in a Quantity of Interest (QoI) which is represented as a bounded linear functional of the solution. In this work we consider a posteriori error estimates of a quantity of interest that cannot be represented in this fashion, namely the time at which a threshold is crossed for the first time. We derive two representations for such errors and use an adjoint-based a posteriori approach to estimate unknown terms that appear in our representation. The first representation is based on linearizations using Taylors Theorem. The second representation is obtained by implementing standard root-finding techniques. We provide several examples which demonstrate the accuracy of the methods. We then embed these error estimates within a framework to provide error bounds on a cumulative distribution function when parameters of the differential equations are uncertain.

Many practical problems occur due to the boundary value problem. This paper evaluates the finite element solution of the boundary value problem of Poissons equation and proposes a novel a posteriori local error estimation based on the Hypercircle met
hod. Compared to the existing literature on qualitative error estimation, the proposed error estimation provides an explicit and sharp bound for the approximation error in the subdomain of interest and is applicable to problems without the $H^2$ regularity. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by numerical experiments for both convex and non-convex 2D domains.
This paper analyses the following question: let $mathbf{A}_j$, $j=1,2,$ be the Galerkin matrices corresponding to finite-element discretisations of the exterior Dirichlet problem for the heterogeneous Helmholtz equations $ ablacdot (A_j abla u_j) +
k^2 n_j u_j= -f$. How small must $|A_1 -A_2|_{L^q}$ and $|{n_1} - {n_2}|_{L^q}$ be (in terms of $k$-dependence) for GMRES applied to either $(mathbf{A}_1)^{-1}mathbf{A}_2$ or $mathbf{A}_2(mathbf{A}_1)^{-1}$ to converge in a $k$-independent number of iterations for arbitrarily large $k$? (In other words, for $mathbf{A}_1$ to be a good left- or right-preconditioner for $mathbf{A}_2$?). We prove results answering this question, give theoretical evidence for their sharpness, and give numerical experiments supporting the estimates. Our motivation for tackling this question comes from calculating quantities of interest for the Helmholtz equation with random coefficients $A$ and $n$. Such a calculation may require the solution of many deterministic Helmholtz problems, each with different $A$ and $n$, and the answer to the question above dictates to what extent a previously-calculated inverse of one of the Galerkin matrices can be used as a preconditioner for other Galerkin matrices.
Motivated by the desire to numerically calculate rigorous upper and lower bounds on deviation probabilities over large classes of probability distributions, we present an adaptive algorithm for the reconstruction of increasing real-valued functions.
While this problem is similar to the classical statistical problem of isotonic regression, the optimisation setting alters several characteristics of the problem and opens natural algorithmic possibilities. We present our algorithm, establish sufficient conditions for convergence of the reconstruction to the ground truth, and apply the method to synthetic test cases and a real-world example of uncertainty quantification for aerodynamic design.
Dynamical spectral estimation is a well-established numerical approach for estimating eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the Markov transition operator from trajectory data. Although the approach has been widely applied in biomolecular simulations, it
s error properties remain poorly understood. Here we analyze the error of a dynamical spectral estimation method called the variational approach to conformational dynamics (VAC). We bound the approximation error and estimation error for VAC estimates. Our analysis establishes VACs convergence properties and suggests new strategies for tuning VAC to improve accuracy.
We propose a novel $hp$-multilevel Monte Carlo method for the quantification of uncertainties in the compressible Navier-Stokes equations, using the Discontinuous Galerkin method as deterministic solver. The multilevel approach exploits hierarchies o
f uniformly refined meshes while simultaneously increasing the polynomial degree of the ansatz space. It allows for a very large range of resolutions in the physical space and thus an efficient decrease of the statistical error. We prove that the overall complexity of the $hp$-multilevel Monte Carlo method to compute the mean field with prescribed accuracy is, in best-case, of quadratic order with respect to the accuracy. We also propose a novel and simple approach to estimate a lower confidence bound for the optimal number of samples per level, which helps to prevent overestimating these quantities. The method is in particular designed for application on queue-based computing systems, where it is desirable to compute a large number of samples during one iteration, without overestimating the optimal number of samples. Our theoretical results are verified by numerical experiments for the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations. In particular we consider a cavity flow problem from computational acoustics, demonstrating that the method is suitable to handle complex engineering problems.
