Robust residual-based a posteriori error estimators for mixed finite element methods for fourth order elliptic singularly perturbed problems

Numerical Analysis 2016-09-16 v1

Abstract

We consider mixed finite element approximation of a singularly perturbed fourth-order elliptic problem with two different boundary conditions, and present a new measure of the error, whose components are balanced with respect to the perturbation parameter. Robust residual-based a posteriori estimators for the new measure are obtained, which are achieved via a novel analytical technique based on an approximation result. Numerical examples are presented to validate our theory.
