Energy-norm a posteriori error estimates for singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems on anisotropic meshes

摘要

Residual-type a posteriori error estimates in the energy norm are given for singularly perturbed semilinear reaction-diffusion equations posed in polygonal domains. Linear finite elements are considered on anisotropic triangulations. The error constants are independent of the diameters and the aspect ratios of mesh elements and of the small perturbation parameter. To deal with anisotropic triangulations, a special quasi-interpolation operator is employed that may be of independent interest.
