Recent Advances in Adaptive Computation: Proceedings of the International Conference on Recent Advances in Adaptive Computation, Hangzhou, China, May 24-28, 2004

Twenty-three papers from the May 2004 conference investigate averaging techniques for a posteriori finite element error control, adaptive mortar edge element methods in electromagnetic field computation, moving mesh methods for computational fluid dynamics, and adaptive multi-meshes in finite element approximation of optimal control. Other topics considered include derivative superconvergence of equilateral triangular finite elements, reduced-order modeling of Navier-Stokes equations via centroidal Voronoi tessellations, adaptive computation with PML for time harmonic scattering problems, and an adaptive algorithm for ordinary, stochastic, and partial differential equations.
