Research Abstract
My main research interest is the theoretical analysis and practical application of Adaptive Finite Element Methods (AFEMs). The numerical experiments using FEM need high accuracy to get reliable results. However high accuracy will increase the computation effort including the physical memory as well as cpu time. To speed up the simulation, AFEM is introduced to reduce the size of the computation while keeping optimal accuracy and thus now widely used in scientific computation. While these methods have been shown to be very successful, the theory ensuring the convergence of the algorithm and the advantages over non-adaptive methods is still under development. My main research goal is to to investigate a more complete integration of adaptive and multilevel algorithms, in terms of algorithm design, convergence and complexity theory, and application to important problems in science and engineering.
