As model example serves the Poisson equation with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, where the inhomogeneous Dirichlet data are discretized by use of an $H^{1/2}$-stable projection, for instance, the $L^2$-projection for $p=1$ or the Scott-Zhang projection for general $p\\ge1$. For error estimation, we use a residual error estimator which includes the Dirichlet data oscillations. We prove that each $H^{1/2}$-stable projection yields convergence of the adaptive algorithm even with quasi-optimal convergence rate. Numerical experiments with the $L^2$- and Scott-Zhang projection conclude the work.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-21T12:25:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "65N30", "65N50" ], "keywords": [ "inhomogeneous dirichlet data", "adaptive fem", "second order elliptic pdes", "quasi-optimality", "quasi-optimal convergence rate" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 37, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1306.5115A" } } }
