This is part of a larger thing where I'm trying to understand FEM and BVPs. Essentially this is a diffusion reaction problem. My problem is I have the following (?=pi) v-kv''=f(x)=sin(?x), x is between 1 and 2 v@x=0 = 0 and v@x=1 = 0 I have some plots but they are not matching my analytical solution (I think my brain has just broken tonight), but if anyone can steer me right I'd be grateful.
