Notes:
The construction of changing sequences of irregular and nested triangulations, based on the use of conforming refinement/derefinement algorithms for triangulations, is presented and discussed. This strategy is particularly appropriate to combine adaptivity and full multigrid algorithms for dealing with moving fronts or fluid dynamics problems. It is shown that the quality of all the triangulations iteratively generated depends only on the geometric characteristics of the initial grid. A data structure suitable to create, manage and modify series of nested triangulations as well as the main features of the DEREF prototype package are described, and numerical examples are given.
