### Determining the indices of a VTK mesh

I am trying to assign fixed constraint at specific indices of VTK mesh, however, I only can view STL file in a blender as follows: Upon assigning the favored indices in my scene at the SOFA physics ...

### Numerically computing deflection due to thermal expansion

Using linear elasticity formulation, I am attempting to numerically compute the displacement due to thermal expansion. This is done for a 3-D isotropic material. The governing equations are simply: ...

### Fit exponential convergence

I'm working with a numerical algorithm whose output $y$ asymptotically approaches a certain unknown value $a$. I expect an exponential convergence, i.e. the data $y$ given by my algorithm should be ...

### Finding the polynomial for the solution of an ODE

I’m stuck trying to solve part (b) and (c) of the below problem, but part (b) is the one of main concern here as I think (c) should follow easily once (b) is completed. I don’t know where to start ...
