The finite element method is a popular method for approximating numerically on a computer the solution of partial differential equations. It is based on a variational (weak) formulation of the PDE, followed by discretization on a finite-dimensional ansatz space which reduces the problem to a sparse linear algebra one.

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' …
