Hello Danny,

I think there might be a way to handle your situation. In principle you could use vector-valued elements for your additional independent variables and varying polynomial degrees on every cell to control the number of unknowns per cell. However, I do not know how suitable these structures are for your intentions.

Best Regards,
Markus

Dear all,

I am looking into the suitability of Deal.ii for our problem. We essentially have 5D problems (3 space and 2 additional independent variables).

The 2 additional variables are handled by h-adaption and I am interested in having Deal.ii deal with the spatial part (possibly by hp-refinement). The implication of our h-refinement scheme for the non-space coordinates is that we have a varying number of unknowns per spatial element to deal with (may be highly variable from 8 to hundreds of unbknowns). Can Deal.ii handle this situation? Note that I am mostly interested in using the storage, mesh adaption and quadrature etc., not so much in the matrix solvers…

Thanks.
