Abstract
In this paper we present a new version of the derefinement algorithm developed by Plaza et al. The purpose is to achieve a better derefinement algorithm in the sense of getting a lesser degree of complexity.

We present the theoretical study of this improved derefinement algorithm and of the inverse one for refinement. Firstly, our initial version of the derefinement algorithm is summarized. Then we present the refinement algorithm associated to the improved derefinement one. Finally, the automatic control of the sequences of irregular nested triangulations is shown by means of the resolution of an unsteady problem. In this problem a combination of refinement and derefinement algorithms has been applied to approach a circular domain.
