Abstract

In this paper, a new robust residual type a posteriori error estimator is developed and analyzed for convection–diffusion equations. A novel dual norm is introduced, under which the error estimator is proved to be robust with respect to the singularly perturbed parameter \(\varepsilon \). Both theoretical and numerical results showed that the estimator performs better than the existing ones in literature.
