Abstract

We consider easily computable and reliable error estimators for the approximation of linear elliptic boundary value problems by nonconforming finite element methods. In particular, we develop both element-oriented and edge-oriented estimators providing lower and upper bounds for the global discretization error. The local contributions of these estimators may serve as indicators for local refinement within an adaptive framework.
