Abstract
Residual-based anisotropic a posteriori error estimates are derived for the parabolic integro-differential equation (PIDE) with smooth kernel in two-dimensions. Based on \(C^0\)-conforming piecewise linear elements for spatial discretization, the fully discrete method is achieved after discretizing in time by a two-step backward difference (BDF-2) formula. Reconstruction technique is used to restore the optimal order convergence in temporal direction. Numerical results confirm our theoretical findings.
