Triangular IFISS (T-IFISS)

T-IFISS is a MATLAB package for solving (deterministic) steady-state diffusion problems on general two-dimensional domains using finite element methods. It includes Galerkin approximations on triangular grids, a posteriori error estimation, and adaptive algorithms with local mesh refinement. Unstructured meshes are generated using the DistMesh package.
The core version of the package is available from the T-IFISS homepage. The following paper gives an overview of the key features of the package:

Stochastic T-IFISS

Stochastic T-IFISS extends the core version of T-IFISS to cover stochastic Galerkin approximations of diffusion problems with random coefficients, the associated a posteriori error estimation and adaptive algorithms, including goal-oriented adaptivity and most recently multilevel adaptivity.

The adaptive algorithms for computing single-level stochastic Galerkin approximations are discussed in the following paper:

Goal-oriented error estimation strategy and the associated goal-oriented adaptive algorithm are presented in the following paper:

An a posteriori error estimator for multilevel stochastic Galerkin approximations and adaptive algorithms for computing multilevel approximations are discussed in this paper:

T-IFISS can run on both Windows and MacOS computers. The toolbox has been tested using MATLAB version 9.1 and it is compatible with versions as far back as 6.5.
After you have unpacked the files, start MATLAB in the directory tifiss1.2. Type install_tifiss and follow the on-screen instructions. After installation, type setpath, helpme to get started.
The routines implementing stochastic Galerkin approximations for problems with random coefficients are included in the sub-directory stoch_diffusion.
