Abstract
We establish in this paper sharp error estimates of residual type for finite element approximation to elliptic obstacle problems. The estimates are of mixed nature, which are neither of a pure a priori form nor of a pure a posteriori form but instead they are combined by an a priori part and an a posteriori part. The key ingredient in our derivation for the mixed error estimates is the use of a new interpolator which enables us to eliminate inactive data from the error estimators. One application of our mixed error estimates is to construct a posteriori error indicators reliable and efficient up to higher order terms, and these indicators are useful in mesh-refinements and adaptive grid generations. In particular, by approximating the a priori part with some a posteriori quantities we can successfully track the free boundary for elliptic obstacle problems.
