Abstract
For elliptic interface problems in two- and three-dimensions with a possible very low regularity, this paper establishes a priori error estimates for the Raviart-Thomas and Brezzi-Douglas-Marini mixed finite element approximations. These estimates are robust with respect to the diffusion coefficient and optimal with respect to the local regularity of the solution. Several versions of the robust best approximations of the flux and the potential approximations are obtained. These robust and local optimal a priori estimates provide guidance for constructing robust a posteriori error estimates and adaptive methods for the mixed approximations.
