Abstract
AbstractWe consider some diffusion problems in domains of ℝd, d = 2 or 3 approximated by a discontinuous Galerkin method with polynomials of any degree. We propose a new a posteriori error estimator based on H(div)‐conforming elements. It is shown that this estimator gives rise to an upper bound where the constant is one up to higher order terms. The lower bound is also established with a constant depending on the aspect ratio of the mesh, the dependence with respect to the coefficients being also traced. The reliability and efficiency of the proposed estimator is confirmed by some numerical tests. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2008
