             OptFEM2DP1 is a MATLAB/GNU Octave library providing simple and efficient
	         vectorized routines for P1-Lagrange Finite Element Methods in 2D
		 

The version 1.1 contains different optimization techniques to perform the assembly
of P1 finite element matrices in Matlab and Octave,  from the standard approach (basic version and OptV0)
to recent vectorized ones (OptV1 and OptV2), without any low level language used.
The more efficient version (OptV2) is entirely vectorized (without loop) and without any quadrature formula.
