Abstract
The Unified Form Language – UFL [Alnæs and Logg, 2009] – is a domain specific language for the declaration of finite element discretizations of variational forms and functionals. More precisely, the language defines a flexible user interface for defining finite element spaces and expressions for weak forms in a notation close to mathematical notation.
