ELFIC

Participants : Sylvie Boldo [contact] , Claude Marché, Guillaume Melquiond.

ELFIC is a working group of the Digicosme Labex. S. Boldo is the principal investigator. It began in 2014 for one year and was extended for one year. https://digicosme.lri.fr/GT+ELFIC

The ELFIC project focuses on proving the correctness of the FELiScE (Finite Elements for Life Sciences and Engineering) C++ library which implements the finite element method for approximating solutions to partial differential equations. Finite elements are at the core of numerous simulation programs used in industry. The formal verification of this library will greatly increase confidence in all the programs that rely on it. Verification methods developed in this project will be a breakthrough for the finite element method, but more generally for the reliability of critical software relying on intricate numerical algorithms.

Partners: Inria team Pomdapi; Ecole Polytechnique, LIX; CEA LIST; Université Paris 13, LIPN; UTC, LMAC (Compiègne).

ELEFFAN

Participant : Sylvie Boldo [contact] .

ELEFFAN is a Digicosme project funding the PhD of F. Faissole. S. Boldo is the principal investigator. It began in 2016 for three years. https://project.inria.fr/eleffan/

The ELEFFAN project aims at formally proving rounding error bounds of numerical schemes.

Partners: ENSTA Paristech (A. Chapoutot)
