Abstract

We present numerically verified a posteriori estimates of the norms of inverse operators for linear parabolic differential equations. In case that the corresponding elliptic operator is not coercive, existing methods for a priori estimates of the inverse operators are not accurate and, usually, exponentially increase in time variable. We propose a new technique for obtaining the estimates of the inverse operator by using the finite dimensional approximation and error estimates. It enables us to obtain very sharp bounds compared with a priori estimates. We will give some numerical examples which confirm the actual effectiveness of our method.
