FIDIL (for FInite DIfference Language) is a language supporting finite difference and particle method computations. It extends the semantic domain of FORTRAN-like algebraic languages with facilities for construction, composition, refinement, and other manipulation of grids -- called domains -- and for performing computations on functions defined over these domains. FIDIL is an attempt to automate much of the routine bookkeeping that forms a large part of many programs involving PDEs, and to bring the semantic level of these programs closer to that at which the algorithms are conceived and published. <p>This report gives the current definition of the FIDIL language. We expect the definition to evolve rapidly with experience.
