摘要

Error reduction, convergence and optimality are analyzed for adaptive mixed finite element methods (AMFEM) for diffusion equations without marking the oscillation of data. Firstly, the quasi-error, i.e. the sum of the stress variable error and the scaled error estimator, is shown to reduce with a fixed factor between two successive adaptive loops, up to an oscillation. Secondly, the convergence of AMFEM is obtained with respect to the quasi-error plus the divergence of the flux error. Finally, the quasi-optimal convergence rate is established for the total error, i.e. the stress variable error plus the data oscillation.
