Abstract

We consider the a posteriori error estimation for an atomistic-to-continuum cou- pling scheme for a generic one-dimensional many-body next-nearest-neighbour interaction model in 1D. We derive and rigorously prove the efficiency of the residual type estimator. We prove the equivalence between the residual type and the gradient recovery type estima- tor in the continuum region and propose a (novel) hybrid a a posteriori error estimator by combining the two types of estimators. Our numerical experiments illustrate the optimal con- vergence rate of the adaptive algorithms using these estimators whose efficiency factors are also presented.
