AbstractThe results of this contribution are derived in the framework of functional type a posteriori error estimates. The error is measured in a combined norm which takes into account both the primal and dual variables denoted by x and y, respectively. Our first main result is an error equality for all equations of the class ${\mathrm{A}^{*}\mathrm{A}x+x=f}$ or in mixed formulation ${\mathrm{A}^{*}y+x=f}$, ${\mathrm{A}x=y}$, where the exact solution $(x,y)$ is in $D(\mathrm{A})\times D(\mathrm{A}^{*})$. Here ${\mathrm{A}}$ is a linear, densely defined and closed (usually a differential) operator and ${\mathrm{A}^{*}}$ its adjoint. In this paper we deal with very conforming mixed approximations, i.e., we assume that the approximation ${(\tilde{x},\tilde{y})}$ belongs to ${D(\mathrm{A})\times D(\mathrm{A}^{*})}$. In order to obtain the exact global error value of this approximation one only needs the problem data and the mixed approximation itself, i.e., we have the equality$\lvert x-\tilde{x}\rvert^{2}+\lvert\mathrm{A}(x-\tilde{x})\rvert^{2}+\lvert y-% \tilde{y}\rvert^{2}+\lvert\mathrm{A}^{*}(y-\tilde{y})\rvert^{2}=\mathcal{M}(% \tilde{x},\tilde{y}),$where ${\mathcal{M}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y}):=\lvert f-\tilde{x}-\mathrm{A}^{*}\tilde{y}% \rvert^{2}+\lvert\tilde{y}-\mathrm{A}\tilde{x}\rvert^{2}}$ contains only known data. Our second main result is an error estimate for all equations of the class ${\mathrm{A}^{*}\mathrm{A}x+ix=f}$ or in mixed formulation ${\mathrm{A}^{*}y+ix=f}$, ${\mathrm{A}x=y}$, where i is the imaginary unit. For this problem we have the two-sided estimate$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}+1}\mathcal{M}_{i}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y})\leq\lvert x-% \tilde{x}\rvert^{2}+\lvert\mathrm{A}(x-\tilde{x})\rvert^{2}+\lvert y-\tilde{y}% \rvert^{2}+\lvert\mathrm{A}^{*}(y-\tilde{y})\rvert^{2}\leq\frac{\sqrt{2}}{% \sqrt{2}-1}\mathcal{M}_{i}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y}),$where ${\mathcal{M}_{i}(\tilde{x},\tilde{y}):=\lvert f-i\tilde{x}-\mathrm{A}^{*}% \tilde{y}\rvert^{2}+\lvert\tilde{y}-\mathrm{A}\tilde{x}\rvert^{2}}$ contains only known data. We will point out a motivation for the study of the latter problems by time discretizations or time-harmonic ansatz of linear partial differential equations and we will present an extensive list of applications including the reaction-diffusion problem and the eddy current problem.

In this article we claim that we are going to give a priori and a posteriori error estimates for a Crank Nicolson type scheme. The problem is discretized by the finite elements in space. The main result of this paper consists in establishing two types of error indicators, the first one linked to the time discretization and the second one to the space discretization.
