5 Introduction We assume that B(, ) is a symmetric, continuous, coercive bilinear form. Then B defines a scalar product in V B(u, v) = B(v, u) B(u, u) 0, B(u, u) = 0 u = 0 For every scalar product the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality holds: B(u, v) B(u, u) 1/2 B(v, v) 1/2 Def. Energy norm: w E = B(w, w) 1/2 April, 2011 A posteriori error estimation in the FEM 5 / 17

7 Introduction Thrm. u E = sup v V B(u, v) v E (Since B(u, v) u E v E ) Application: r(v) = B(u u h, v) v V. According to the theorem: u u h E = sup v V B(u u h, v) v E = sup v V r(v) v E = r Energy norm of the error = dual norm of the residuum Residual error estimates: based on estimation of the norm of the residuum.
