Convergence and Optimality of hp-AFEM

Numerical Analysis 2015-03-16 v1

Abstract

We design and analyze an adaptive hphp-finite element method (hp-AFEM) in dimensions n=1,2n=1,2. The algorithm consists of iterating two routines: hp-NEARBEST finds a near-best hphp-approximation of the current discrete solution and data to a desired accuracy, and REDUCE improves the discrete solution to a finer but comparable accuracy. The former hinges on a recent algorithm by Binev for adaptive hphp-approximation, and acts as a coarsening step. We prove convergence and instance optimality.
