Some error estimates for the reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces method

In this paper we derive some effective error estimates for the reproducing kernel Hilbert space method applied to a general class of linear initial or boundary value problems. The first error estimate is computable and yields a worst case bound in the form of a percentage of the norm of the true solution which has not yet been discussed according to the knowledge of the authors. The second error estimate is a residual based error estimate, which is expressed in terms of the fill distance, so that convergence is studied for the fill distance tends to zero. This is a generalization and improvement of the existing error estimates. Some numerical results are presented to demonstrate the applicability of the estimates. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.
