Project Concepts

Concepts is a set of classes written in C++ which allow for solving elliptic partial differential equations using hp-FEM, DGFEM, and BEM. For more information, please visit the following pages:

• Publications - A list of scientific publications on Concepts and in which Concepts is applied.

• Gallery - A collection of numerical results computed with Concepts.

Concepts has been developed from 1995 to 2019 at the Seminar for Applied Mathematics at ETH Zürich, from 2011 to 2019 at the Department of Mathematics at TU Berlin and since 2020 at the Department of Mathematics at TU Darmstadt. A detailed describtion of the history of Concepts can be found here.
