Abstract
The paper is devoted to a posteriori quantitative analysis for errors caused by linearization of nonโlinear elliptic boundary value problems and their finite element realizations. We employ duality theory in convex analysis to derive computable bounds on the difference between the solution of a nonโlinear problem and the solution of the linearized problem, by using the solution of the linearized problem only. We also derive computable bounds on differences between finite element solutions of the nonlinear problem and finite element solutions of the linearized problem, by using finite element solutions of the linearized problem only. Numerical experiments show that our a posteriori error bounds are efficient.

We study the backward Euler method with variable time steps for abstract evolution equations in Hilbert spaces. Exploiting convexity of the underlying potential or the angle-bounded condition, thereby assuming no further regularity, we derive novel a posteriori estimates of the discretization error
Using the abstract framework of [R. Verfรผrth, Math. Comput. 62, 445-475 (1996)], we analyze a residual a posteriori error estimator for space-time finite element discretizations of parabolic PDEs. The estimator gives global upper and local lower bounds on the error of the numerical solution. The fin
## Abstract In this article, we develop functional a posteriori error estimates for discontinuous Galerkin (DG) approximations of elliptic boundaryโvalue problems. These estimates are based on a certain projection of DG approximations to the respective energy space and functional a posteriori estim
