step2
Discontinuous Petrov Galerkin for Poisson Problem on Unit Square

step2, a FENICS code which uses the Discontinuous Petrov Galerkin (DPG) method to solve a Poisson problem over the unit square with piecewise constant diffusivity kappa(x,y).

The program relies heavily on the ideas and implementation embodied in Jay Gopalakrishnan's dpg_laplace code.

Note that I have installed FENICS using Docker, and so to run this script I issue the commands:

1. cd $HOME/fenicsproject/step2
2. fenicsproject run
3. python3 step2.py
4. exit
