<p style='text-indent:20px;'>In this paper, we introduce a simple local flux recovery for <inline-formula><tex-math id="M1">\begin{document}$ \mathcal{Q}_k $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula> finite element of a scalar coefficient diffusion equation on quadtree meshes, with no restriction on the irregularities of hanging nodes. The construction requires no specific ad hoc tweaking for hanging nodes on <inline-formula><tex-math id="M2">\begin{document}$ l $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>-irregular (<inline-formula><tex-math id="M3">\begin{document}$ l\geq 2 $\end{document}</tex-math></inline-formula>) meshes thanks to the adoption of virtual element families. The rectangular elements with hanging nodes are treated as polygons as in the flux recovery context. An efficient <i>a posteriori</i> error estimator is then constructed based on the recovered flux, and its reliability is proved under common assumptions, both of which are further verified in numerics.</p>

In this paper we discuss a way to recover a classical residual-based error estimator for elliptic problems by using a finite element space enriched with bubble functions. The advection-dominated case is also discussed.

AbstractWe derive a residual-based a posteriori error estimator for the conforminghp-Adaptive Finite Element Method (hp-AFEM) for the steady state Stokes problem describing the slow motion of an incompressible fluid. This error estimator is obtained by extending the idea of a posteriori error estimation for the classicalh-version of AFEM. We also establish the reliability and efficiency of the error estimator. The proofs are based on the well-known Clément-type interpolation operator introduced in [27] in the context of thehp-AFEM. Numerical experiments show the performance of an adaptivehp-FEM algorithm using the proposed a posteriori error estimator.

AbstractA robust residual-based a posteriori error estimator is proposed for a weak Galerkin finite element method for the Stokes problem in two and three dimensions. The estimator consists of two terms, where the first term characterises the difference between the L2-projection of the velocity approximation on the element interfaces and the corresponding numerical trace, and the second is related to the jump of the velocity approximation between the adjacent elements. We show that the estimator is reliable and efficient through two estimates of global upper and global lower bounds, up to two data oscillation terms caused by the source term and the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. The estimator is also robust in the sense that the constant factors in the upper and lower bounds are independent of the viscosity coefficient. Numerical results are provided to verify the theoretical results.

This paper is devoted to the derivation of an a posteriori residual-based error estimator for the A-φ magnetodynamic harmonic formulation of the Maxwell system. The weak continuous and discrete formulations are established, and the well-posedness of both of them is addressed. Some useful analytical tools are derived. Among them, an ad hoc Helmholtz decomposition is proven, which allows to pertinently split the error. Consequently, an a posteriori error estimator is obtained, which is proven to be reliable and locally efficient. Finally, numerical tests confirm the theoretical results.
