[Dune] question: Virtual Element Methods

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hello Franco,
welcome to Dune!

Dune is a framework offering basic things like grid managers, linear 
solvers, and local functions. On top of these core modules, other 
modules add complete discretizations, physics and advanced methods. 
Technically they are not part of Dune but are extensions supported by a 
smaller set of people. Dune-FEM is such a discretization module and 
there is a paper realizing Virtual Element Methods on top of that.

Andreas Dedner is a core developer and also reading the mailing list. He 
might add to my email or be able to answer more detailed questions.
