pdeadgsc

Select triangles using a relative tolerance criterion.

Synopsis

Description
bt=pdeadgsc(p,t,c,a,f,u,errf,tol) returns indices of triangles to be refined in bt. Used from adaptmesh to select the triangles to be further refined. The geometry of the PDE problem is given by the mesh data p and t. See the entry on initmesh for more details.

c, a, and f are PDE coefficients. See assempde for details.

u is the current solution, given as a column vector. See the entry on assempde for details.

errf is the error indicator, as calculated by pdejmps.

tol is a tolerance parameter.

Triangles are selected using the criterion errf>tol*scale, where scale is calculated as follows:

Let cmax, amax, fmax, and umax be the maximum of c, a, f, and u, respectively. Let l be the side of the smallest axis-aligned square that contains the geometry.

Then scale=max(fmax*l^2,amax*umax*l^2,cmax*umax). The scaling makes the tol parameter independent of the scaling of the equation and the geometry.
