A point load can be mathematically represented as a distribution, e.g., a Dirac delta. It breaks the Gridap flow, since one cannot use Gauss quadratures and numerical integration (what we usually do in FEM) to compute the integral of f*v in that case.

I don't want to consider hacks, e.g., touch the vector entry in a particular node in which you want to put the force (assuming the force is on

We should try to improve the fallback operations for RandomVariables in probnum.random_variables._arithmetic and the unary fallback operations in RandomVariable itself.
Ideas include:

  • Generic random variables can always be multiplied by Diracs which provides a closed form expression for the mean by leveraging linearity E[aX] = a E[X] if a ~ Dirac
  • One should be able to defin
