Abstract

We present analytical and numerical investigation in the relationship of the recovery error estimator and the implicit residual error estimator. It is shown that, analytically, both error estimators are equivalent for one-dimensional problems. Numerical study indicates that such equivalence also exist for two-dimensional problems.
