چکیده
A posteriori error estimates for the obstacle problem are established in the framework of the hypercircle method. To this end, we provide a general theorem of Prager– Synge type. There is now no generic constant in the main term of the estimate. Moreover, the role of edge terms is elucidated, and the analysis also applies to other types of a posteriori error estimators for obstacle problems.

A posteriori estimators for obstacle problems by the hypercircle method
A posteriori error estimates for the obstacle problem are established in the framework of the hypercircle method. To this end, we provide a general theorem of Prager– Synge type.

متن کاملAn Equilibrated A Posteriori Error Estimator for the Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin Method
Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) methods for second order elliptic boundary value problems have been derived from a mixed variational formulation of the problem. Numerical flux functions across interelement boundaries play an important role in that theory. Residual type a posteriori error estimators for IPDG methods have been derived and analyzed by many authors including a conver...
متن کاملResearch Report on the Hypercircle Method
We got interested in the hypercircle method since it enables the derivation of reliable a posteriori error estimates without generic constants. It turned out, however, that it avoids also a loss of efficiency that we encounter when residual error estimators are used with the hp finite element method. Moreover, we obtain a priori error estimates for the comparison of different finite element fam...

Interior Penalty Discontinuous Galerkin (IPDG) methods for second order elliptic boundary value problems have been derived from a mixed hybrid formulation of the problem. Numerical flux functions across interelement boundaries play an important role in that theory. Residual type a posteriori error estimators for IPDG methods have been derived and analyzed by many authors including a convergence...
متن کاملAn a posteriori error estimate and a Comparison Theorem for the nonconforming P 1 element
A posteriori error estimates for the nonconforming P1 element are easily determined by the hypercircle method via Marini’s observation on the relation to the mixed method of Raviart–Thomas. Another tool is Ainsworth’s application of the hypercircle method to mixed methods. The relation on the finite element solutions is also extended to an a priori relation of the errors, and the errors of four...
