Abstract

In this paper, an adaptive modified weak Galerkin (AMWG) method is considered to solve second-order elliptic problem. Under the assumption of a penalty parameter, by showing reliability of error estimator, comparison of solutions and reduction of error estimator, the sum of the energy error and the scaled error estimator, between two consecutive adaptive loops, is proved to be a contraction, namely, the adaptive algorithm is convergent. Numerical experiments are implemented to support the theoretical results.
