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.
