The paper is dedicated to the derivation of the guaranteed robust and computable 24
a posteriori error bounds possessing three properties. Firstly, the bound of the 25
N
error energy norm must provide the guaranteed accuracy equal in the order to the 26
U
accuracy of the unimprovable a priori error bound. Secondly, the first property must 27
be achieved with the use of the testing fluxes evaluated by pure approximation 28

Thirdly, the evaluation of the a posteriori bound must be cheap. For brevity, we term 30
A posteriori bounds, suggested in the paper, belong to the family of the error 32
energy norm bounds with two main terms in the right part called diffusion and 33
residual terms. These terms depend on the approximate solution of the boundary 34
value problem, the right part of the problem, and on the testing flux from some 35
specific form, so the possibility to pick up a testing flux in the admissible set, 37
providing cheap computations and sufficient accuracy. In spite of the pointed out 38
common features, there were quite a number of suggestions in the literature with 39

If for simplicity we turn to the case of the constant reaction coefficient, the typical 44
residual term of the majorant1 looks as θ 1/2 fˆ − σ uh − div zL2 (Ω) , where uh is 45

part f of the elliptic equation, it is commonly done not for f itself, but for some 64
its approximation fˆ. The latter is defined element wise, e.g., as the orthogonal L2 - 65
projection of f on the space of each finite element. Among great number of works 66
on the touched topics, we are able to refer to a few, in particular, to Zienkiewicz and 67
Zhu [39], Ainsworth and Oden [1], Babuska et al. [6, 7], Xu and Zhang [36], Ern 68

For the sequel it is worth to fix the following properties, additional to the 71

In this paper, we develop the a posteriori error bounds, which for approximate 88

orders of the finite element solutions in L2 and H 1 norms. This allowed us to come 112
to θ of the optimal order under general conditions in two steps made in Sects. 12.4 113
and 12.5, respectively. Since the constants in the majorants is an important issue 114
for applications, we study two approaches to their derivation, which influence the 115
values of the constants and simplicity of their evaluation. One of them imposes 116
some restriction on the smoothness of the boundary, because it employs the Aubin- 117
Nitsche trick for a subsidiary problem, governed by the Poisson equation. The 118
constants resulting from another depend only upon properties of the local quasi- 119

The paper is organized as follows. Section 12.2 contains the formulation of the 125

sufficiently smooth functions v that satisfy the essential boundary conditions. The 130

Combining (12.19) with (12.23), we come to the bound (12.16).
Let us make a few remarks in relation to the bound (12.16). Since σ∗ and σe are 331

constants, one can set σ∗ = c∗ σe , c∗ = const, and, therefore, (σ∗ +σe )/σe = 1+c∗ . 332

solutions of the problem in the domains with the sufficiently smooth boundaries this 337
coefficient will have, indeed, the order of σe−1 = O(h2 ) instead of the constant cΩ 338

(1)
Proof Since Mfem (σ, f, z) = M(σ, σ∗ , f, v, z) with σ∗ defined according
to (12.34), Theorem is a direct consequence of Lemmas 12.2 and 12.3.
Similar a posteriori error bounds can be derived in a quite similar way for the 430
finite element method solutions to the 2nth -order elliptic equations, n ≥ 1, see 431
Korneev [24]. The most complicated for their practical applications is the evaluation 432
of the constant c . However, in many cases such estimates are well known. For 433
instance, if the domain is convex, then c = 1, see Ladyzhenskaya [27, (6.5) in ch. 434
II]. 435
Existence of the constant c puts some restrictions on the smoothness of the 436
F
boundary and coefficients of the equation (if they are not constant). At the same 437
time, there is a possibility to avoid the mentioned additional restrictions, except for 438

tion type or other approximation operator with locally defined approximations for 440
