On p-Robust Saturation on Quadrangulations
Jan Westerdiep · Computational Methods in Applied Mathematics · 2019
Abstract For the Poisson problem in two dimensions, posed on a domain partitioned into axis-aligned rectangles with up to one hanging node per edge, we envision an efficient error reduction step in an instance-optimal hp-adaptive finite element method. Central to this is the problem: Which increase in local polynomial degree ensures p-robust contraction of the error in energy norm? We reduce this problem to a small number of saturation problems on the reference square, and provide strong numerical evidence for their solution.
