  @inbook{nochetto2009theory, abstract = {This is a survey on the theory of adaptive finite element methods (AFEM), which are fundamental in modern computational science and engineering. We present a self-contained and up-to-date discussion of AFEM for linear second order elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) and dimension d>1, with emphasis on the differences and advantages of AFEM over standard FEM. The material is organized in chapters with problems that extend and complement the theory. We start with the functional framework, inf-sup theory, and Petrov-Galerkin method, which are the basis of FEM. We next address four topics of essence in the theory of AFEM that cannot be found in one single article: mesh refinement by bisection, piecewise polynomial approximation in graded meshes, a posteriori error analysis, and convergence and optimal decay rates of AFEM. The first topic is of geometric and combinatorial nature, and describes bisection as a rather simple and efficient technique to create conforming graded meshes with optimal complexity. The second topic explores the potentials of FEM to compensate singular behavior with local resolution and so reach optimal error decay. This theory, although insightful, is insufficient to deal with PDEs since it relies on knowing the exact solution. The third topic provides the missing link, namely a posteriori error estimators, which hinge exclusively on accessible data: we restrict ourselves to the simplest residual-type estimators and present a complete discussion of upper and lower bounds, along with the concept of oscillation and its critical role. The fourth topic refers to the convergence of adaptive loops and its comparison with quasi-uniform refinement. We first show, under rather modest assumptions on the problem class and AFEM, convergence in the natural norm associated to the variational formulation. We next restrict the problem class to coercive symmetric bilinear forms, and show that AFEM is a contraction for a suitable error notion involving the induced energy norm. This property is then instrumental to prove optimal cardinality of AFEM for a class of singular functions, for which the standard FEM is suboptimal.}, author = {Nochetto, Ricardo H. and Siebert, Kunibert G. and Veeser, Andreas}, booksubtitle = {Dedicated to Wolfgang Dahmen on the Occasion of his 60th Birthday}, booktitle = {Multiscale, Nonlinear and Adaptive Approximation}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-642-03413-8_12}, editor = {DeVore, Ronald A. and Kunoth, Angela}, isbn = {{978-3-642-03413-8} and {978-3-642-03412-1}}, language = {eng}, pages = {409-542}, publisher = {Springer}, title = {Theory of Adaptive Finite Element Methods: An Introduction}, year = 2009 }

  @article{ganter_numerical_2007, abstract = {Microfluidic biochips are biochemical laboratories on the microscale that are used for genotyping and sequencing in genomics, protein profiling in proteomics, and cytometry in cell analysis. There are basically two classes of such biochips: active devices, where the solute transport on a network of channels on the chip surface is realized by external forces, and passive chips, where this is done using a specific design of the geometry of the channel network. Among the active biochips, current interest focuses on devices whose operational principle is based on piezoelectrically driven surface acoustic waves ({SAWs}) generated by interdigital transducers placed on the chip surface. In this paper, we are concerned with the numerical simulation of such piezoelectrically agitated {SAWs} relying on a mathematical model that describes the coupling of the underlying piezoelectric and elastomechanical phenomena. Since the interdigital transducers usually operate at a fixed frequency, we focus on the time-harmonic case. Its variational formulation gives rise to a generalized saddle point problem for which a Fredholm alternative is shown to hold true. The discretization of the time-harmonic surface acoustic wave equations is taken care of by continuous, piecewise polynomial finite elements with respect to a nested hierarchy of simplicial triangulations of the computational domain. The resulting algebraic saddle point problems are solved by blockdiagonally preconditioned iterative solvers with preconditioners of {BPX}-type. Numerical results are given both for a test problem documenting the performance of the iterative solution process and for a realistic {SAW} device illustrating the properties of {SAW} propagation on piezoelectric materials.}, author = {Ganter, Andreas and Hoppe, Ronald H.

  @article{morin2002convergence, abstract = {The a priori convergence of finite element methods is based on the density property of the sequence of finite element spaces which essentially assumes a quasi-uniform mesh-refining. The advantage is guaranteed convergence for a large class of data and solutions; the disadvantage is a global mesh refinement everywhere accompanied by large computational costs. Adaptive finite element methods (AFEMs) automatically refine exclusively wherever their refinement indication suggests to do so and consequently leave out refinements at other locations. In other words, the density property is violated on purpose and the a priori convergence is not guaranteed automatically and, in fact, crucially depends on algorithmic details. The advantage of AFEMs is a more effective mesh in many practical examples accompanied by smaller computational costs; the disadvantage is that the desirable convergence property is not guaranteed a priori. Efficient error estimators can justify a numerical approximation a posteriori and so achieve reliability. But it is not theoretically justified from the start that the adaptive mesh-refinement will generate an accurate solution at all. In order to foster the development of a convergence theory and improved design of AFEMs in computational engineering and sciences, this paper describes a particular version of an AFEM and analyses convergence results for three model problems in computational mechanics: linear elastic material (A), nonlinear monotone elastic material (B), and Hencky elastoplastic material (C). It establishes conditions sufficient for error-reduction in (A), for energy-reduction in (B), and eventually for strong convergence of the stress field in (C) in the presence of small hardening.}, author = {Morin, Pedro and Nochetto, Ricardo H. and Siebert, Kunibert G.}, doi = {10.1016/j.apnum.2008.12.006}, issn = {{0036-1445} and {1095-7200}}, journaltitle = {SIAM Review}, language = {eng}, number = 4, pages = {631-658}, title = {Convergence of Adaptive Finite Element Methods}, volume = 44, year = 2002 }

The error between exact and discrete solution is estimated in a weaker norm than the corresponding energy norm. Using the Aubin-Nitsche-trick, the error is represented by a linear dual problem. Assuming that the solution of the dual problem is regular, i. e. the solution belongs to a subspace W of X with a stronger norm, the error is estimated by the weaker W*-norm of the residual from above and below. Since it is not possible to compute the W*-norm of the residual, we also present utilities for an estimation of this norm for second order problems. In second order problems we want to estimate the error in the L^2-norm. For a localization of the residual we have to construct suitable cut-off functions which have weak second derivatives. This reflects the regularity of the dual problem on the discrete level and yields an estimation of the error by the error estimator from above and below.
