Abstract:
This paper addresses the problem of finding the mesh representing at
best in L^p a twice continuous differentiable function defined on the
plane. A continuous setting of this problem is used. It relies on an
abstract mesh model, the “continuous metrics” allowing a variational
analysis and on the identification of an optimum. Anisotropic optimal
meshes can then be specified. An extension to discontinuities is
proposed. It involves the prediction of the convergence order of the
underlying mesh adaptation method. We present a few numerical
illustrations related to numerical solution representation and to
image compression.
