Abstract

We consider numerical approximations of ill-posed elliptic problems with conditional stability. The notion of optimal error estimates is defined including both convergence with respect to discretisation and perturbations in data. The rate of convergence is determined by the conditional stability of the underlying continuous problem and the polynomial order of the approximation space. A proof is given that no approximation can converge at a better rate than that given by the definition without increasing the sensitivity to perturbations, thus justifying the concept. A recently introduced class of primal-dual finite element methods with weakly consistent regularisation is recalled and the associated error estimates are shown to be optimal in the sense of this definition.
