Triangular IFISS

T-IFISS extends the IFISS philosophy to cover Galerkin approximation of scalar diffusion problems on triangular grids. This paper gives an overview of the key features. In the Matlab release, unstructured meshes can be generated using the DistMesh package.

      The underlying theory is discussed in the forthcoming book:
      Essential Finite Element Approximation
      by Prashanth Nadukandi and David Silvester
      Here is a sample chapter
