The hp-adaptive FEM based on continuous Sobolev embeddings: isotropic refinements

The aim of this paper is to present a new class of smoothness testing strategies in the context of hp-adaptive refinements based on continuous Sobolev embeddings. In addition to deriving a modified form of the 1d smoothness indicators introduced in [26], they will be extended and applied to a higher dimensional framework. A few numerical experiments in the context of the hp-adaptive FEM for a linear elliptic PDE will be performed.
