We consider mixed finite element approximation of a singularly perturbed fourth-order elliptic problem with two different boundary conditions, and present a new measure of the error, whose components are balanced with respect to the perturbation parameter. Robust residual-based a posteriori estimators for the new measure are obtained, which are achieved via a novel analytical technique based on an approximation result. Numerical examples are presented to validate our theory.

In this paper, we investigate adaptive streamline upwind/Petrov Galerkin (SUPG) methods for singularly perturbed convection-diffusion-reaction equations in a new dual norm presented in [Du and Zhang, J. Sci. Comput. (2015)]. The flux is recovered by either local averaging in conforming $H({\rm div})$ spaces or weighted global $L^2$ projection onto conforming $H({\rm div})$ spaces. We further introduce a recovery stabilization procedure, and develop completely robust a posteriori error estimators with respect to the singular perturbation parameter $\varepsilon$. Numerical experiments are reported to support the theoretical results and to show that the estimated errors depend on the degrees of freedom uniformly in $\varepsilon$.
