Solving Partial Differential Equations in R

The R wrapper to the fdaPDE finite element solver for Partial Differential Equations

This is a first pre-release of the package, as such, bugs might occur. Feel free to open an issue in case of problems.

Installation

Make sure to have the following dependencies installed on your system:

• a C++17 compliant compiler
• the Rcpp and RcppEigen packages

then, to install the latest stable version of femR, you can either:

1. use the devtools package. From the R console, execute

devtools::install_github("fdaPDE/femR", ref="stable") 

2. clone this repository and install. From a terminal, execute

git clone --recurse-submodules -b stable [email protected]:fdaPDE/femR.git cd path/to/femR 

and install the package from the R console

install.packages(".", type="source", repos=NULL) 

Both procedures will automatically pull the fdaPDE-core submodule dependence required by femR. It is not recommended to download the source code directly from Github, as this won’t include any submodule dependence, making the installation procedure to fail.
