An adaptive mesh method with variable relaxation time. (English) Zbl 1269.65096

Summary: In this paper, we have applied a dynamic adaptive method for solving time-dependent differential equations. The mesh velocities are governed by an equation in which a relaxation time is employed to move nodes in such a way that they remain concentrated in regions of rapid variation of the solution. A numerical example involving a blow-up problem shows the advantage of using a variable relaxation time over a fixed one.
