Abstract

In this work, we report on an ongoing project to implement an hp-adaptive finite element method. The inspiration of this work came from the development of certain a posteriori error estimates for high order finite elements based on superconvergence [7–9].We wanted to create an environment where these estimates could be evaluated in terms of their ability to estimate global errors for a wide range of problems, and to be used as the basis for adaptive enrichment algorithms.
