Abstract
An adaptive scheme is proposed and formulated in which the
domain is split into two subdomains. In the subdomain where
the desired element sizes are close to the current element sizes,
the nodal coordinates are optimised using r-adaptivity. In the
subdomain where the desired element sizes differ importantly
from the current element sizes, a completely new discretisation
is built by means of h-adaptivity. The subdivision of the
domain as well as the remeshing procedures for the two subdomains
are based on error assessment. Linear, two-dimensional
examples illustrate the concepts. It is shown that the combined
rh-adaptive approach is more efficient than a purely h-adaptive
approach and more flexible than a purely r-adaptive approach.
