Vulpes (Discontinuous and VirtUaL Polytopal ElementS method) is an open-source, general-purpose library for the numerical solution of multiphysics and multiscale differential problems with Discontinuous and Virtual Element methods on polytopal meshes.

The research group

Vulpes is developed at MOX - Laboratory for Modeling and Scientific Computing, Department of Mathematics, Politecnico di Milano, as part of the research activities conducted within the ERC Synergy Grant NEMESIS.

VULPES principal developers are:

Matteo Caldana matte.nosp@m.o.ca.nosp@m.ldana.nosp@m.@pol.nosp@m.imi.i.nosp@m.t
Ilario Mazzieri ilari.nosp@m.o.ma.nosp@m.zzier.nosp@m.i@po.nosp@m.limi..nosp@m.it

The Principal Investigator of the Politecnico di Milano node of the NEMESIS project is Paola F. Antonietti

We also acknowledge the contribution of the University of Milano-Bicocca node of the NEMESIS project to the development of Vulpes: Lourenço Beirão da Veiga loure.nosp@m.nco..nosp@m.beira.nosp@m.o@un.nosp@m.imib..nosp@m.it, PI of the University of Milano-Bicocca NEMESIS node, and Franco Dassi franc.nosp@m.o.da.nosp@m.ssi@u.nosp@m.nimi.nosp@m.b.it.
