for a plain Poisson eqn with pure Neumann b.c., how to specify the scaling condition u*dx = 0 ?

If you have a recent dolfin, you can introduce a constant c acting
as a Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the constraint. See
example below.

from dolfin import *

mesh = UnitSquare(32, 32)
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
Q = FunctionSpace(mesh, "R", 0)
M = V * Q

(u, c) = TrialFunctions(M)
(v, d) = TestFunctions(M)

f = Expression("x[0]*x[1]*sin(pi*x[0])")

a = dot(grad(v), grad(u))*dx + d*u*dx + c*v*dx
L = v*f*dx

pde = VariationalProblem(a, L)
u_h = pde.solve()

plot(u_h[0])
interactive()

But make sure to not name that space 'M' if you try this with a UFL
file or you will get a strange error (since 'M' is reserved in form
files).

Anyway, I'm wondering about the dofmap for the "R" element. It sets
_global_dimension to m.num_entities[2] which is the global number of
cells, but then it maps all dofs to 0. Is that right? Shouldn't the
global dimension be 1?



Yes, it is a bug for non-mixed elements(!). I noticed but didn't really want to start fixing before
the weekend. It's on the todo-list though.
