Hi guys,

So I was attempting to do something similar:

L2_error_norm = norm(assemble(v*(u-u_exact)*dx)/assemble(v*dx))

where v is test function, u is FE solution, and u_exact is the analytical solution. All of which are CG1 space. I get an error saying "fl.log.UFLException: Division by non-scalar is undefined"

Know what's up?

Thanks,
Justin

It's just the normal FE L2 projection:

you want:

u = div(q)

So you hit both sides with a test function and integrate:

u*e*dx = div(q)*e*dx

Where u is a trial function in DG0, e is a test function in DG and q
is in whereever.

But, as David points out, the DG0 mass-matrix is completely diagonal.
 The values on the diagonal are just obtained by assembling the lone
test function:

diag = assemble(e*dx)

But now, because the matrix is diagonal, you can solve the linear
system pointwise by doing a pointwise division:

rhs = assemble(div(q)*e*dx)

solution = assemble(rhs/diag)


Cheers,

Lawrence
