abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, we develop and analyze an implicit $a$ $posteriori$ error estimates
for the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method for nonlinear third-order Korteweg-de
Vries (KdV) equations in one space dimension. First, we show that the LDG error on each
element can be split into two parts. The first part is proportional to the $(p+1)$-degree right
Radau polynomial and the second part converges with order $p$&nbsp;$+$ $\frac{3}{2}$ in the $L^2$-norm, when
piecewise polynomials of degree at most $p$ are used. These results allow us to construct $a$ $posteriori$ LDG error estimates. The proposed error estimates are computationally
simple and are obtained by solving a local steady problem with no boundary conditions
on each element. Furthermore, we prove that, for smooth solutions, these $a$ $posteriori$ error estimates converge at a fixed time to the exact spatial errors in the $L^2$-norm under
mesh refinement. The order of convergence is proved to be $p$ $+$&nbsp;$\frac{3}{2}$. Finally, we prove that
the global effectivity index converges to unity at $\mathcal{O}(h^{\frac{1}{2}})$ rate. Several numerical examples
are provided to illustrate the global superconvergence results and the convergence of the
proposed error estimator.</p>},
