Abstract

A parallel implementation of an adaptive finite element program is treated. In conjunction with a conjugate gradient solver, where preconditioning is done by hierarchical bases (including a coarse grid solver) and by new methods of dynamic load balancing an efficient methodology for treating adaptive finite element systems is shown. The different levels of nested meshes needed for preconditioning are governed either by global or by adaptive mesh refinements.
