An $hp$-Adaptive Newton-Discontinuous-Galerkin Finite Element Approach   for Semilinear Elliptic Boundary Value Problems
  In this paper we develop an $hp$-adaptive procedure for the numerical solution of general second-order semilinear elliptic boundary value problems, with possible singular perturbation. Our approach combines both adaptive Newton schemes and an $hp$-version adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretisation, which, in turn, is based on a robust $hp$-version a posteriori residual analysis. Numerical experiments underline the robustness and reliability of the proposed approach for various examples.
