    • 2016, Alex Bespalov, Alexander Haberl, Dirk Praetorius, “Adaptive FEM with coarse initial mesh guarantees optimal convergence rates for compactly perturbed elliptic problems”, in arXiv[1]:
      We prove that for compactly perturbed elliptic problems, where the corresponding bilinear form satisfies a Garding inequality, adaptive mesh-refinement is capable of overcoming the preasymptotic behavior and eventually leads to convergence with optimal algebraic rates.
