A predictor-corrector finite element method for parabolic problems on polygonal domains
摘要
The problem of studying the behaviour of solutions of boundary value problems for partial differential equations in domains with geometric singularities is of great importance in mathematics and its applications. In this paper, we consider as model problem the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the heat equation on polygonal domains and derive, on the one hand, explicit computable formulas for the singular solutions near non-convex corners. On the other hand, the formulas are used to construct an efficient adaptation for the Galerkin finite element method on quasiuniform meshes for the spatial discretization. For the temporal discretization, we employ the classical Crank-Nicolson method. A priori error estimates in the
