Contents
- Elliptic partial differential equations
- weak solutions
- Galerkin method
- finite elements
- a-posteriori error estimators
- adaptive refinement strategies
- Wavelets, compressibility
Qualification Goals
The students shall
- To recognize the relevance of adaptive approximation techniques for practical problems, especially for the numerical treatment of elliptic partial differential equations, and to acquire knowledge of the basic principles of error estimator design and refinement strategies,
- learn how methods from functional analysis, numerical analysis and approximation theory interact,
- Re-evaluate knowledge from basic and advanced modules,
- practice mathematical working methods (development of mathematical intuition and its formal justification, training of the ability to abstract, proof techniques),
- improve their oral communication skills in the exercises by practicing free speech in front of an audience and during discussion.
