Abstract: We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of mathbfH(mathrmdiv) of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the polynomial degree. This result has important applications in the a posteriori error analysis of parabolic problems, where it permits the removal of so-called transition conditions that link two consecutive meshes. It can also be used in a the posteriori error analysis of elliptic problems, where it allows the treatment of meshes with arbitrary numbers of hanging nodes between elements. We present a constructive proof based on the a posteriori error analysis of an auxiliary elliptic problem with H−1 source terms, thereby yielding results of independent interest. In particular, for such problems, we obtain guaranteed upper bounds on the error along with polynomial-degree robust local efficiency of the estimators.


The authors study discrete \(p\)-robust \(H\) (div)-liftings and a posteriori estimates for elliptic problems with \(H^{-1}\) source terms. They first present some notations and then present the equlibrated flux reconstruction in the setting of \(H^{-1}\) source terms. Later, they prove theorems and give in the appendix applications to illustrate the results discussed related to a posterior error estimation on meshes.
