Advances in Computational Mathematics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This paper is a summary of our study on estimators for the error in the finite element solution given in [4,5,7,9,10]. We will persent the analysis of estimators for finite element solutions of the Poisson equation in the interior of meshes of triangles with straight edges, as well as the analysis at the boundary.
