Abstract:The purpose of this work deals with the discretization of a second order linear wave equation by the implicit Euler scheme in time and by the spectral elements method in space. We prove that the adaptivity of the time steps can be combined with the adaptivity of the spectral mesh in an optimal way. Two families of error indicators, in time and in space, are proposed. Optimal estimates are obtained.
