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 work we introduce a new a posteriori error estimate of hierarchical type for the advection-diffusion-reaction equation. We prove the equivalence between the energy norm of the error and our error estimate using an auxiliary linear problem for the residual and an easy way to prove inf–sup condition.
