Partial differential equations with nonnegative characteristic form arise in numerous mathematical models of physical phenomena: stochastic analysis, in particular, is a fertile source of equations of this kind. We survey recent developments concerning the finite element approximation of these equations, focusing on three relevant aspects: (a) stability and stabilisation; (b) hp-adaptive algorithms driven by residual-based a posteriori error bounds, capable of automatic variation of the…
