## Optimal-transport-based mesh adaptivity on the plane and sphere using finite elements

Abstract:

In moving mesh methods, the underlying mesh is dynamically adapted without changing the connectivity of the mesh. We specifically consider the generation of meshes which are adapted to a scalar monitor function through equidistribution. Together with an optimal transport condition, this leads to a Monge–Ampere equation  for a scalar mesh potential. We adapt an existing finite element scheme for the standard Monge–Ampere  equation to this mesh generation problem; this is a mixed finite eleme...
