Good examples of "two is easy, three is hard" in computational sciences
MaxEnt distribution subject to equality constraints on cumulants is easy to compute for constraints on first 2 cumulants (closed form solution), hard for constraints on first 3 cumulants. In the ...

What FEM solver should be used for matrix-valued FE spaces?
This is a fairly standard elliptic problem (the operator is of the form $-\Delta - \text{grad}\,\text{div}$). It is vector-valued (in fact matrix-valued) in the same way as the elasticity equations ...
