Minimization of p-Laplacian via the Finite Element Method in MATLAB
share
Minimization of energy functionals is based on a discretization by the finite element method and optimization by the trust-region method. A key tool is a local evaluation of the approximated gradients together with sparsity of the resulting Hessian matrix. We describe a vectorized MATLAB implementation of the p-Laplace problem in one and two space-dimensions, however it is easily applicable to other energy formulations.
