It is an open question if the threshold condition < for the Dörfler marking parameter is necessary to obtain optimal algebraic rates of adaptive nite element methods. We present a (non-PDE) example tting into the common abstract convergence framework (axioms of adaptivity) and which is potentially converging with exponential rates. However, for Dörfler marking > the algebraic converges rate can be made arbitrarily small.
