On p-robust saturation for hp-AFEM
No full textFor the Poisson problem in two dimensions, we consider the standard adaptive finite element loop solve, estimate, mark, refine, with estimate being implemented using the p-robust equilibrated flux estimator, and, mark being Dörfler marking. As a refinement strategy we employ p-refinement. We investigate the question by which amount the local polynomial degree on any marked patch has to be incremented in order to achieve a p-independent error reduction. We show that the analysis can be transferred from the patches to a reference triangle, and therein we provide clear-cut computational evidence that any increment proportional to the polynomial degree (for any fixed proportionality constant) yields the desired reduction. The resulting adaptive method can be turned into an instance optimal hp-adaptive method by the addition of a coarsening routine

Convergence and optimality of hp-AFEM
No full textWe design and analyze an adaptive hp-finite element method ((Formula presented.)-AFEM) in dimensions (Formula presented.). The algorithm consists of iterating two routines: (Formula presented.)-NEARBEST finds a near-best hp-approximation of the current discrete solution and data to a desired accuracy, and REDUCE improves the discrete solution to a finer but comparable accuracy. The former hinges on a recent algorithm by Binev for adaptive hp-approximation, and acts as a coarsening step. We prove convergence and instance optimality

Curriculum Considerations for International Students on Professional Doctorate Courses: A Perspective from the United Kingdom
No full textThe aim of this round table discussion is to consider academic and personal
challenges associated with the increasing recruitment of international students to
university programmes as highlighted by Trice (2003), which includes professional
doctorate courses. Current economic factors and changes to the UK higher
education system have led to increasing initiatives to recruit overseas students.
Globalisation has been occurring on large social and economic scales for many
decades with populations finding easier communications, collaborations and
information sharing opportunities due to developing technologies and inter-country
mobility systems. For example, in Europe the Bologna process was introduced to
facilitate the internal mobility of students, teachers and administrative staff, due to
the nature of this increase in international mobility of students (Cardoso et al, 2007)
An optimal adaptive fictitious domain method
No full textWe consider a fictitious domain formulation of an elliptic partial differential equation and approximate the resulting saddle-point system using a nested inexact preconditioned Uzawa iterative algorithm, which consists of three nested loops. In the outer loop the trial space for the Galerkin approximation of the Lagrange multiplier is enlarged. The intermediate loop solves this Galerkin system by a damped preconditioned Richardson iteration. Each iteration of the latter involves solving an elliptic problem on the fictitious domain whose solution is approximated by an adaptive finite element method in the inner loop. We prove that the overall method converges with the best possible rate and illustrate numerically our theoretical findings

A saturation property for the spectral-Galerkin approximation of a Dirichlet problem in a square
No full textBoth practice and analysis of p-FEMs and adaptive hp-FEMs raise the question what increment in the current polynomial degree p guarantees a p-independent reduction of the Galerkin error. We answer this question for the p-FEM in the simplified context of homogeneous Dirichlet problems for the Poisson equation in the two dimensional unit square with polynomial data of degree p. We show that an increment proportional to p yields a p-robust error reduction and provide computational evidence that a constant increment does not
