In this note we consider the a posteriori error analysis of mixed finite element approximations to the Laplace eigenvalue problem based on local postprocessing. The estimator makes use of an improved L2approximation for the Raviart-Thomas (RT) and Brezzi-Douglas-Marini (BDM) finite element methods. For the BDM method we also obtain improved eigenvalue convergence for postprocessed eigenvalues. We verify the theoretical results in several numerical examples.
