This is done by developing an abstract framework for indefinite problems which allows us to prove general quasi-orthogonality proposed in [Carstensen et al., 2014]. This property is the main obstacle towards the optimality proof and therefore is the main focus of this work. The key ingredient is a new connection between the mentioned quasi-orthogonality and $LU$-factorizations of infinite matrices.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-20T10:39:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "standard finite element method", "optimal adaptivity", "stationary stokes problem converges", "infinite matrices", "standard adaptive algorithm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
