In part I of this investigation, we proved that the standard a posteriori estimates, based only on local computations, may severely underestimate the exact error for the classes of wave-numbers and the types of meshes employed in engineering analyses. We showed that this is due to the fact that the

✦ Synopsis
The a posteriori error estimation in constitutive law has already been extensively developed and applied to "nite element solutions of structural analysis problems. The paper presents an extension of this estimator to problems governed by the Helmholtz equation (e.g. acoustic problems) that we have already partially reported, this paper containing informations about the construction of the admissible "elds for acoustics. Moreover, it has been proven that the upper bound property of this estimator applied to elasticity problems (the error in constitutive law bounds from above the exact error in energy norm) does not generally apply to acoustic formulations due to the presence of the speci"c pollution error. The numerical investigations of the present paper con"rm that the upper bound property of this type of estimator is veri"ed only in the case of low (non-dimensional) wave numbers while it is violated for high wave numbers due to the pollution e!ect.

This paper contains a first systematic analysis of a posteriori estimation for finite element solutions of the Helmholtz equation. In this first part, it is shown that the standard a posteriori estimates, based only on local computations, severely underestimate the exact error for the classes of wav
For high wave numbers, the Helmholtz equation su!ers the so-called &pollution e!ect'. This e!ect is directly related to the dispersion. A method to measure the dispersion on any numerical method related to the classical Galerkin FEM is presented. This method does not require to compute the numerical
