### reaction term in C++ .ufl file

Hi all,

I have trouble to set the reaction term in the C++ .ufl file. I have a coupled PDE system of u1 and u2. They have a reaction term u1*u2 in the system, which means I'll have u1*u2*v*dx in the varational form. But it looks like .ufl do not permit this way. I can do this in python, but c++ always give the trouble. Can any one help to set this term in the c++? Thank you so much!

The code is :

# ufl file for solving the system of heat equations
# -div(D*grad u) = u*v + f_u = u*v + 4*alpha - alpha*beta*r^5
# -div(D*grad v) = -u*v + f_v = -u*v + 9*beta*r + alpha*beta*r^5

# Define the function space
space = FiniteElement("Lagrange", triangle, 1)

element = space * space
#element = MixedElement([space, space])

# Define trial and test functions
u = TrialFunction(element)
(v_1, v_2) = TestFunctions(element)
f_1 = Coefficient(space)
f_2 = Coefficient(space)

u_1, u_2 = split(u)

# Define bilinear and linear form

L = f_1*v_1*dx + inner(u_1, u_2)*v_1*dx + f_2*v_2*dx - inner(u_1, u_2)*v_2*dx

And the error message is :

Ok, it looks like that python do not allow inner(u_1, u_2) term. So is any one know how to deal with this kind of reaction term?

Your problem is nonlinear in u, which explain the error message. Defining u as a Coefficient and changing the formulation of your problem to a non-linear one would be enough:

# Define the function space
space = FiniteElement("Lagrange", triangle, 1)

element = space * space
#element = MixedElement([space, space])

u = Coefficient(element)
(v_1, v_2) = TestFunctions(element)
f_1 = Coefficient(space)
f_2 = Coefficient(space)

u_1, u_2 = split(u)

J  = derivative(F, u, du)
