Summary
This paper examines the concepts of feedback and adaptivity for the Finite Element Method. The model problem concernsC 0 elements of arbitrary, fixed degree for a one-dimensional two-point boundary value problem. Three different feedback methods are introduced and a detailed analysis of their adaptivity is given.
