Convergence rates for adaptive finite elements. (English) Zbl 1183.65134

The authors present a combination of two known methods to construct the approximate solution of the Dirichlet problem
\[ -\Delta u=f\quad \text{in }\Omega ;\qquad u=0 \quad \text{on } \partial \Omega, \]
using the finite element method. This method consists in a decomposition of the functions in a sum of a regular part and singular terms. The authors indicate an algorithm to construct the adaptive mesh for this problem. Numerical results of the method are not given.
