Abstract
A variational principle, inspired by optimal control, yields a simple derivation of an error representation, global error = Σ local error · weight, for general approximation of functions of solutions to ordinary differential equations. This error representation is then approximated by a sum of computable error indicators, to obtain a useful global error indicator for adaptive mesh refinements. A uniqueness formulation is provided for desirable error representations of adaptive algorithms.
