Abstract

In this paper a linearly implicit peer method is combined with a multilevel finite element method for the discretization of parabolic partial differential equations. Following the Rothe method it is first discretized in time and then in space. A spatial error estimator based on the hierarchical basis approach is derived. It is shown to be a reliable and efficient estimator up to some small perturbations. The efficiency index of the estimator is shown to be close to the ideal value one for two one-dimensional test problems. Finally we compare the performance of the overall method, based on second, third, and fourth order peer methods with that of some Rosenbrock methods. We conclude that the presented peer methods offer an attractive alternative to Rosenbrock methods in this context.
