Abstract
We present a unified approach to build error estimators based on H(div)-reconstructed fluxes on the primal mesh, inspired by the hypercircle method. Here, the transport equation is considered and discretized by discontinuous Galerkin, nonconforming and conforming finite elements. We describe the local computation of fluxes on patches, obtain upper error bounds and show some numerical tests.
