abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">AFEPack is a general-purpose C++ library for numerical solutions of partial
differential equations. With over two decades development, AFEPack has been successfully applied for scientific and engineering computational problems in a variety
of areas such as computational fluid dynamics, electronic structure calculations, computational micromagnetics. In this paper, design philosophy of the library, algorithms
and data structures used in the discretization of governing equations, numerical linear
algebra for the discretized system, as well as the pre-processing and post-processing of
the simulations, will be described systematically for the AFEPack. The realization of
two main features of the library, i.e., adaptive mesh methods and parallel computing,&nbsp;will be introduced in detail. The potential of the library for large scale scientific/engineering problems would be demonstrated by several examples. The future works on
developing the library will also be discussed.</p>},
