Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss recent progress in constructing adaptive algorithms for controlling errors in the maximum norm. The main focus will be the construction of robust a posteriori error estimators for singularly perturbed elliptic reaction-diffusion problems. I will also discuss the sharpness of logarithmic factors that typically arise in maximum norm a posteriori estimates. In particular, we show that standard estimators for controlling maximum errors efficiently and reliably control the error in a modified bounded mean oscillation (BMO) norm with no logarithmic factors present.
