Abstract
A posteriori error estimates are provided for discretizations in time of abstract nonlinear parabolic problems u′ = F(u), by the backward Euler method in the maximal regularity framework of Banach spaces. The estimates are of conditional type, i.e., are valid under assumptions on the approximate solution, and the proofs are based on appropriate fixed point arguments.
