Abstract

This paper introduces and analyzes an equilibrated a posteriori error estimator for mixed finite element approximations to the diffusion problem in two dimensions. The estimator, which is a generalization of those in Braess and Schöberl (Math Comput 77:651–672, 2008) and Cai and Zhang (SIAM J Numer Anal 50(1):151–170, 2012), is based on the Prager–Synge identity and on a local recovery of a gradient in the curl free subspace of the \(H(\text {curl})\)-confirming finite element spaces. The resulting estimator admits guaranteed reliability, and its robust local efficiency is proved under the quasi-monotonicity condition of the diffusion coefficient. Numerical experiments are given to confirm the theoretical results.
