Nonlinear energy functionals appearing in the calculus of variations can be discretized by the finite element (FE) method and formulated as a sum of energy contributions from local elements. A fast evaluation of energy functionals containing the first order gradient terms is a central part of this contribution. We describe a vectorized implementation using the simplest linear nodal (P1) elements in which all energy contributions are evaluated all at once without the loop over triangular or tetrahedral elements. Furthermore, in connection to the first-order optimization methods, the discrete gradient of energy functional is as-sembled in a way that the gradient components are evaluated over all degrees of freedom all at once. The key ingredient is the vectorization of exact or approximate energy gradi-ents over nodal patches. It leads to a time-efficient implementation at higher memory-cost. Provided codes in MATLAB related to 2D/3D hyperelasticity and 2D p-Laplacian problem are available for download and structured in a way it can be easily extended to other types of vector or scalar forms of energies.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc.
