The excitation of nonlinear surface electromagnetic waves and optical bistability in an experiment with a planar liquid-crystal system
Abstract
An effective h-version finite element adaptive strategy combined with mesh regeneration is presented. The rate of convergence of the adaptive procedure has been tested for some examples and very strong convergence observed. Unlike some existing h-version adaptive procedures, a nearly optimal mesh of predicted accuracy can be obtained in one or two adaptive process steps.
