fem1d_project, an Octave code which computes the projection of sample data onto a given finite element mesh.
This procedure can be used to determine the least squares approximant to data (actually, to the piecewise linear interpolant of that data) or to determine the finite element coefficients appropriate when recomputing a finite element solution from a fine mesh to a coarse mesh.
The sample data is given simply as two files, one containing the points, the other, the corresponding data values.
The user must also supply two files defining the finite element mesh, containing the points, and the pairs of points that form the elements.
The program takes the sample data, projects it onto the finite element mesh, and determines a file of finite element coefficients that represent the projection of the data onto the finite element space.
The current version of the program can only handle finite element meshes which are made of piecewise linear basis functions.
