Abstract

One of the main tools in the proof of residual-based a posteriori error estimates is a quasi-interpolation operator due to Clément. We modify this operator in the setting of a partition of unitywith the effect that the approximation error has a local average zero.This results in a new residual-based a posteriori error estimate with a volume contribution which is smaller than in the standard estimate.For an elliptic model problem, we discuss applications to conforming, nonconforming and mixed finite element methods.
