The discussion focuses on using FreeFem++ to solve variational equations related to finite element methods. The user is seeking clarification on a specific form of the variational equation presented in the documentation, which lacks certain elements like imaginary units and time parameters. They request recommendations for books or resources to better understand this form of the variational equation. Additional context about the equation's application and derivation is also desired. The inquiry highlights a need for clearer explanations in the documentation regarding variational equations in FreeFem++.

Hi, sorry if this isn't the correct forum.
I'm trying freefem++ to solve some some problems with finite elements method, but in the documentation the following form of the variational equation is used:

\displaystyle\int_{T_{h}} (\frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial x}}\frac{{\partial v}}{{\partial x}} + \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial y}}\frac{{\partial v}}{{\partial y}} )dxdy =\displaystyle\int_{T_{h}} fvdxdy

I've searched for that form, but I wasn't able to find it

Could you tell me about a book or any source where I can study that form of the variational equation?

Thanks

Looks strange without any imaginary units, time parameters or simply the order in the integral on the LHS.
Some context would be more than helpful.
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
