Adjoint-based space-time adaptive solution algorithms for sensitivity analysis and inverse problems

Adaptivity in both space and time has become the norm for solving problems modeled by partial differential equations. The size of the discretized problem makes uniformly refined grids computationally prohibitive. Adaptive refinement of meshes and time steps allows to capture the phenomena of interes...
