The space time adaptive finite element method,continuous in space but discontinuous in time for nonlinear parabolic problems is discussed.The approach is based on a combination of finite element and finite difference techniques using the properties of Lagrange interpolating polynomials on the Radau points.We ignored the restrictions of the space-time meshes which is needed in other conventional methods.Basic error estimates in L^∞(L^2) norm are obtained.
