We address the error control of Galerkin discretization (in space) of linear second order hyperbolic problems. More specifically, we derive a posteriori error bounds in the L\infty(L2)-norm for finite element methods for the linear wave equation, under minimal regularity assumptions. The theory is developed for both the space-discrete case, as well as for an implicit fully discrete scheme. The derivation of these bounds relies crucially on carefully constructed space- and time-reconstructions of the discrete numerical solutions, in conjunction with a technique introduced by Baker (1976, SIAM J. Numer. Anal., 13) in the context of a priori error analysis of Galerkin discretization of the wave problem in weaker-than-energy spatial norms.
