English abstract:
We extend a result of Nicaise (SINUM 2005) for the aposteriori
error estimation of the cell-centered finite volume method for the
numerical solution of elliptic problems. Having computed the
piecewise constant finite volume solution $u_h$, we compute a
Morley-type interpolant $\II u_h$. For the exact solution $u$, the
energy error $\norm{\nabla_\TT(u-\II u_h)}{L^2}$ can be controlled
efficiently and reliably by a residual-based a~posteriori error
estimator $\eta$. The local contributions of $\eta$ are used to
steer an adaptive mesh-refining algorithm. As model example serves
the Laplace equation in 2D with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary
conditions.
