Solve 4th order ODE with variable coefficients
I am trying to solve a 4th order boundary value problem with variable coefficients, namely the problem of a rotating cantilever beam:
$u'''' - \frac{((1-x^2)u')'}{2\eta} - \frac{\alpha}{\eta}((1-x)u')...

Weak form of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on closed manifolds
Suppose we are dealing with diffusion over a boundaryless manifold $M$ (for simplicity let's say it's a surface). In that case, we have
\begin{align}
\int_M W \Delta U \mathrm{d} x & = -\int_M \...
