Abstract: We present a novel energy-based numerical analysis of semilinear diffusion-reaction boundary value problems, where the nonlinear reaction terms need to be neither monotone nor convex. Based on a suitable variational setting, the proposed computational scheme can be seen as an energy reduction approach. More specifically, this procedure aims to generate a sequence of numerical approximations, which results from the iterative solution of related (stabilized) linearized discrete problems, and tends to a critical point of the underlying energy functional in a stable way. Simultaneously, the finite-dimensional approximation spaces are adaptively refined. This is implemented in terms of a new mesh refinement strategy in the context of finite element discretizations, which again relies on the energy structure of the problem under consideration. In particular, in contrast to more traditional approaches, it does not involve any a posteriori error estimators, and is based on local energy reduction indicators instead. In combination, the resulting adaptive algorithm consists of an iterative linearization procedure on a sequence of hierarchically refined discrete spaces, which we prove to converge toward a solution of the continuous problem in an appropriate sense. Numerical experiments demonstrate the robustness and reliability of our approach for a series of examples.
