Adaptive Boundary Element Methods Based on Computational Schemes for Sobolev Norms

Multilevel methods are applied to compute local and global Sobolev norms arising in adaptive boundary element methods. Combining this approach with an approximate computation of an error function we construct efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimators for arbitrary boundary element solutions related to either a Dirichlet or Neumann boundary value problem.
