For the last 6 months or so, I have been working together with Douglas Arnold and Mattias Schläger (the designer of our logo and poster) to create a periodic table of finite elements. This is based on the talk that Doug gave at FEniCS'13 in Cambridge.
The latest draft of the table can be found here: http://fenicsproject.org/pub/periodic-table/periodic-table-of-the-finite-elements-draft-2014-02-12.pdf After many iterations, the poster is now ready for a final proofreading. I would like your input on two things: 1. A careful proofreading. Please read through and mark any errors you find on the wiki page linked below, or by responding to this email. At this point, we are not looking for any big changes like adding Hermite elements, or adding a row of quartics, but we need help to check the details. 2. Approval, mostly from Martin, to make some additions in UFL to allow the syntax outlined in the table for defining elements. Two things will need to be fixed to get UFL to match the table. First, new aliases will need to be added, like Ne1, Nf1, Ne2, Nf2 for the Nedelec elements (in addition to the existing aliases if we don't want to break existing code). Second, move form_degree before quad_scheme in the constructor of FiniteElement to allow FEEC notation as shown in the text at the bottom of the poster. Please add your corrections and comments on this wiki page: https://bitbucket.org/fenics-project/dolfin/wiki/Periodic%20Table%20of%20the%20Finite%20Elements The deadline for submitting corrections is Friday 21 February 2014. -- Anders _______________________________________________ fenics mailing list [email protected] http://fenicsproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fenics
