[Dune-devel] Draft for GSoC application

[Christian Engwer]

> 3: Reimplementing the 'generic lfe' would of course be nice - I was thinking about combining that with some code generation so that the local degrees of freedom are prescribed in some python script (perhaps using sympy or UFL) and then the corresponding LFE is generated similar to what is done now on the C++ side.

A couple of years ago, I discussed with Lawrence Mitchell and we
realized, that with some tricks we can use FIAT outside the
specification and use it to create expressions that are suitable to
generate C++ code for our LFE implementation.

> 4: there has been some new work on using vtk to visualize higher order elements. Would be nice to have something like that (could perhaps be combined with (1) and some other points that Simon raised).

> 5: the whole 'twist' thing is I believe still open...

yes, we never managed to boil this down to nice interfaces, but the
question is, whether this is suitable to a GSOC project. Might be a
bit too much math involved...
