Abstract

In this paper, we propose a posteriori local error estimates for numerical schemes in the context of one-dimensional scalar conservation laws. We first consider the schemes for which a consistent in-cell entropy inequality can be derived. Then we extend this result to second-order schemes written in viscous form satisfying weak entropy inequalities. As an illustration, we show several numerical tests on the Burgers equation and we propose an adaptive algorithm for the selection of the mesh.
