Anisotropic adaptive methods based on a metric related to the Hessian of the solution areconsidered. We propose a metric targeted to the minimization of interpolation errorgradient for a nonconforming linear finite element approximation of a given piecewiseregular function on a polyhedral domain Ω ofℝ d , d ≥ 2. We alsopresent an algorithm generating a sequence of asymptotically quasi-optimal meshes relativeto such a nonconforming discretization and give numerical asymptotic behavior of the errorreduction produced by the generated mesh
