An a posteriori error estimator for hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for computing band gaps in photonic crystals

In this paper we propose and analyze a hp-adaptive discontinuous finite element method for computing the band structure of 2D periodic photonic crystals. The problem can be reduced to the computation of the discrete spectrum of each member in a family of periodic Hermitian eigenvalue problems on...
