new publication about the design of the deal.II library published

[Timo Heister]

Hi all,

I would like to bring your attention to the publication

The deal.II finite element library: design, features, and insights
Computers & Mathematics with Applications, vol. 81, pages 407-422, 2021.
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.camwa.2020.02.022

that just got published. As a user/developer of deal.II, I think you
might find it to be an interesting read.

Thank you for being part of this great community and happy holidays.

Best,
Timo (and co-authors)

A preprint for this publication is here, if you don't have access to the PDF
at that link:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.13247

We wrote this paper as a replacement for the old 2007 paper by myself, Ralf
Hartmann, and Guido Kanschat that originally outlined many of the ideas we had
put into deal.II. This new paper is a substantial update on it and illustrates
the many technical ways in which deal.II has grown in the 13 years since we
wrote the first paper. It also discusses in a number of sections that deal.II
isn't just a *technical* thing but that it is built by, and used by, *humans*
who interact and learn.

Best
Wolfgang
