For adaptive mixed finite element methods (AMFEM), we first introduce the data oscillation to analyze, without the restriction that the inverse of the coefficient matrix of the partial differential equations (PDEs) is a piecewise polynomial matrix, efficiency of the a posteriori error estimator Presented by Carstensen [Math. Comput., 1997, 66: 465-476] for Raviart-Thomas, Brezzi-Douglas-Morini, Brezzi-Douglas-Fortin-Marini elements. Second, we prove that the sum of the stress variable error in a weighted norm and the scaled error estimator is of geometric decay, namely, it reduces with a fixed factor between two successive adaptive loops, up to an oscillation of the right-hand side term of the PDEs. Finally, with the help of this geometric decay, we show that the stress variable error in a weighted norm plus the oscillation of data yields a decay rate in terms of the number of degrees of freedom as dictated by the best approximation for this combined nonlinear quantity
