Abstract
A singularly perturbed semilinear reaction-diffusion equation, posed in the unit square, is discretized on arbitrary nonuniform tensor-product meshes. We establish a second-order maximum norm a posteriori error estimate that holds true uniformly in the small diffusion parameter. No mesh aspect ratio assumption is made. Numerical results are presented that support our theoretical estimate.
