fem2d_bvp_serene, a C++ code which applies the finite element method, with serendipity elements, to a 2D boundary value problem over a rectangle.
The boundary value problem (BVP) that is to be solved has the form:
- d/dx ( a(x,y) * du/dx ) - d/dy ( a(x,y) * du/dy ) + c(x,y) * u(x,y) = f(x,y)
This equation holds in the interior of some rectangle R.
The functions a(x,y), c(x,y), and f(x,y) are given.
Zero boundary conditions are imposed on the boundary of R.
The MATLAB "gallery()" command can produce a copy of the Wathen matrix, which arises as a weighted sum of elementary mass matrices associated with a grid of serendipity elements.

FEM2D_BVP_LINEAR, a C++ code which applies the finite element method (FEM), with piecewise linear elements, to a 2D boundary value problem (BVP) over a rectangle, and compares the computed and exact solutions with the L2 and seminorm errors.
FEM2D_BVP_QUADRATIC, a C++ code which applies the finite element method (FEM), with piecewise quadratic elements, to a 2D boundary value problem (BVP) over a rectangle, and compares the computed and exact solutions with the L2 and seminorm errors.
WATHEN, a C++ code which compares storage schemes (full, banded, sparse triplet, sparse) and solution strategies (A\x, Linpack, conjugate gradient (CG)) for linear systems involving the Wathen matrix, which can arise when solving a problem using the finite element method (FEM).
