We derive an optimal lower bound of the interpolation error for linear finite elements on a bounded two-dimensional domain. Using the supercloseness between the linear interpolant of the true solution of an elliptic problem and its finite element solution on uniform partitions, we further obtain two-sided bounds of the discretization error by means of the interpolation error. Two-sided bounds for bilinear finite elements are given as well. Numerical tests illustrate our theoretical analysis. ...

Quasi-Interpolation and A Posteriori Error Analysis in Finite Element Methods

One of the main tools in the proof of residual-based error estimates is a quasi-interpolation operator due to Clément. We modify this operator in the setting of a partition of unity with the effect that the approximation error has a local average zero. This results in a new residual-based error estimate with a volume contribution which is smaller than in the standard estimate. For an elliptic model problem, we discuss applications to conforming, nonconforming and mixed finite...
