General quasi-orthogonality was first proposed in [Axioms of Adaptivity, 2014] as a necessary ingredient of optimality proofs and is the major difficulty on the way to prove rate optimal convergence of adaptive algorithms for many strongly non-symmetric problems. The proof exploits a new connection between the general quasi-orthogonality and LU-factorization of infinite matrices. We then derive that a standard adaptive algorithm for the Johnson-Nedelec coupling converges with optimal rates. The developed techniques are fairly general and can most likely be applied to other problems like Stokes equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-17T04:13:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "non-symmetric fem/bem coupling", "optimal adaptivity", "finite element/boundary element coupling", "general quasi-orthogonality", "non-symmetric johnson-nedelec finite element/boundary element" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
