Time and space adaptivity for the second-order wave equation

The aim of this paper is to show that, for a linear second-order hyperbolic equation discretized by the backward Euler scheme in time and continuous piecewise affine finite elements in space, the adaptation of the time steps can be combined with spatial mesh adaptivity in an optimal way. We derive a...
