Abstract

We derive and analyze adaptive solvers for boundary value problems in which thedifferential operator depends affinely on a sequence of parameters. These methods convergeuniformly in the parameters and provide an upper bound for the maximal error. Numericalcomputations indicate that they are more efficient than similar methods that control theerror in a mean square sense.
