A posteriori error estimates for a class of elliptic unilateral boundary value problems are obtained for functions satisfying only part of the boundary conditions. Next, we give an alternative approach to the a posteriori error estimates for self-adjoint boundary value problems developed by Aubin and Burchard. Further, we are able to construct an alternative estimate with mild additional assumptions. An example of a linear differential operator of order 2k is given.
