A posteriori error estimation is an important tool for reliable and efficient
Galerkin boundary element computations. We analyze the mathematical relation
between the h-h/2-error estimator from [Ferraz-Leite, Praetorius 2007], the
two-level error estimator from [Mund, Stephan, Weisse 1998], and the averaging
error estimator from [Carstensen, Praetorius 2005]. We essentially show that
all of these are equivalent, and we extend the analysis of
[Mund, Stephan, Weisse 1998] to cover adaptive mesh-refinement.
Therefore, all error estimators give lower bounds for the Galerkin error,
whereas upper bounds depend crucially on the saturation assumption. As
model example serve first-kind integral equations in 2D with weakly singular
integral kernel.
