Similarity:

We address the numerical approximation of the two-phase Stefan problem and discuss an adaptive finite element method based on rigorous a posteriori error estimation and refinement/coarsening. We also investigate how to restrict coarsening for the resulting method to be stable and convergent. We review implementation issues associated with bisection and conclude with simulations of a persistent corner singularity, for which adaptivity is an essential tool.

A posteriori error estimation and adaptivity in the method of lines with mixed finite elements

Jan Brandts (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

We will investigate the possibility to use superconvergence results for the mixed finite element discretizations of some time-dependent partial differential equations in the construction of a posteriori error estimators. Since essentially the same approach can be followed in two space dimensions, we will, for simplicity, consider a model problem in one space dimension.
