I am currently working on solving the problem $-\alpha u'' + \beta u = f$ with Neumann conditions on the edge, with the finite element method in MATLAB. I managed to set up a code that works for P1 and P2 Lagragne finite elements (i.e: linear and quadratic) and the results are good!
I am trying to implement the finite element method using the Hermite basis. This basis is defined by the following basis functions and derivatives:
syms x
phi(x) = [2*x^3-3*x^2+1,-2*x^3+3*x^2,x^3-2*x^2+x,x^3-x^2]
% Derivative
dphi = [6*x.^2-6*x,-6*x.^2+6*x,3*x^2-4*x+1,3*x^2-2*x]
The problem with the following code is that the solution vector u is not good. I know that there must be a problem in the S and F element matrix calculation loop, but I can't see where even though I've been trying to make changes for a week.
Can you give me your opinion? Hopefully someone can see my error.
Thanks a lot,

I tried to read courses, search in different documentation and modify my code without success.
