Is the function "phider" not uploaded ?
coeffs denotes a scalar coefficient in corresponding bilinear forms:
a(u,v) = (coeffs * grad u, grad v) (in the stiffness matrix function),
a(u,v) = (coeffs *u, v) (in the mass matrix function),
where u,v are P1 functions. Ignore it in the input of both functions to have coeffs=1.
It is straightforward to modify FEM assemblies to work with rectangular elements, but it is not done in this version. Read the paper and try it yourself :).
What's the 'coeffs' mean in function 'stifness_matrixP1' and 'mass_matrixP1'?
can this create a mass matrix for a rectangular (2 dimensional) mesh?
