Safe ways to abseil last

When being the last one to abseil you obviously need to make sure that when you are down, you can retrieve the rope. While the most common way is probably to use twin/half ropes and to put one rope through the anchor and join it with the other, there are numerous other possibilities.

What methods to set up a safe abseil where you can retrieve the rope exist?
When are they usually applied (e.g. for a specific kind of abseil anchor)?
How is the setup done and what material is used?
