Abstract

A new upper bound is provided for the L-norm of the difference between the viscosity solution of a model steady state Hamilton-Jacobi equation. u, and any given approximation, v. This upper bound is independent of the method used to compute the approximation v; it depends solely on the values that the residual takes on a subset of the domain which can be easily computed in terms of v. Numerical experiments investigating the sharpness of the a posteriori error estimate are given.
