M. Bourlard et S. Nicaise, A REFINED BOUNDARY-ELEMENT METHOD FOR THE HEAT-EQUATION, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 1, Mathematique, 323(9), 1996, pp. 1091-1096
We show that the solution of the heat equation in a cylinder with a po
lygonal basis belongs to an anisotropic weighted space. Then we approx
imate the solution of this problem by reducing it to a boundary integr
al equation. Owing to the obtained regularity, we get an optimal order
of convergence using an anisotropic mesh (uniform in time and refitte
d in space; see [1] for elliptic problems).
