[Dune-devel] [GSoC2016] Junior project 1 - Raviart-Thomas local element

Hi Srihari,
welcome to Dune!

There are no research papers, it just a way to implement Jacobians of
local functions. Basically it's a bunch of partial derivatives.
We have a tutorial for dune-localfunctions which might help to
understand how localfunctions is designed
> http://www.dune-project.org/doc/localfunctions/dune-localfunctions-manual.pdf

Start with getting Dune running. You might want to play around with
dune-grid-howto.
Then try figure out what to change in test-localfe to test the not-yet
existing Jacobian implementation. Then start implementing the entries
one by one.

Sure.

No.

Bye
Christoph
