Singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems
exhibit in general solutions with anisotropic
features, e.g. strong boundary and/or interior
layers. This anisotropy is reflected in the
discretization by using meshes with anisotropic
elements. The quality of the numerical solution
rests on the robustness of the a posteriori error
estimator with respect to both the perturbation
parameters of the problem and the anisotropy of the
mesh. The simplest local error estimator from the
implementation point of view is the so-called
hierarchical error estimator. The reliability
proof is usually based on two prerequisites:
the saturation assumption and the strengthened
Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. The proofs of these
facts are extended in the present work for the
case of the singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion
equation and of the meshes with anisotropic elements.
It is shown that the constants in the corresponding
estimates do neither depend on the aspect ratio
of the elements, nor on the perturbation parameters.
Utilizing the above arguments the concluding
reliability proof is provided as well as the
efficiency proof of the estimator, both
independent of the aspect ratio and perturbation
parameters.
