Abstract

We prove an optimal-order error estimate in a weighted energy norm for the Eulerian-Lagrangian localized adjoint method (ELLAM) for unsteadystate advection-diffusion equations with general inflow and outflow boundary conditions. It is well known that these problems admit dynamic fronts with interior and boundary layers. The estimate holds uniformly with respect to the vanishing diffusion coefficient.
