This paper is a continuation of previous work of the authors [An adaptive characteristic Petrov Galerkin finite element method for convection- dominated linear and non-linear parabolic problems in one space variable, TICOM Rept. 85-3 (1985)]. An adaptive scheme for the analysis of time- dependent parabolic problems defined on two-dimensional or three- dimensional space domains is developed which is based on a Petrov- Galerkin method for spatial approximation and the method of characteristics for the temporal approximation. Numerical examples are discussed which illustrate the efficiency and effectiveness of the method.
