Abstract

This paper is concerned with the derivation of computable and guaranteed upper bounds of the difference between the exact and the approximate solution of an exterior domain boundary value problem for a linear elliptic equation. Our analysis is based upon purely functional argumentation and does not attract specific properties of an approximation method. Therefore, the estimates derived in the paper at hand are applicable to any approximate solution that belongs to the corresponding energy space. Such estimates (also called error majorants of the functional type) have been derived earlier for problems in bounded domains.
