Numbering of DG0 Elements in 1.0.0 vs 1.1.0

Asked by Thomas Fraunholz

Hallo,

when I did the upgrade on 1.1.0 I had to realize that one of my code isn't working anymore. It seems that the numbering of the DG0 Elements has changed. Is this a known issue and if yes, what is the idea to do instead, since this method is proposed in a similar way in the fenics book on page 69.

I added a commented minimum running example.

Thanks for your reply in advance,
Thomas

from dolfin import *

# Create a small mesh, if we stay here everything goes fine.
mesh = UnitSquare(4,4)

# We are doing some Refinement to produce the failure.
V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)
while V.dim() < 150:
    dummy_markers = MeshFunction("bool", mesh, mesh.topology().dim())
    for c in cells(mesh):
        dummy_markers[c] = True
    mesh = refine(mesh, dummy_markers)
    V = FunctionSpace(mesh, "CG", 1)

# We creat a simple marker. It is a small 2x2 chessboard.
f = Expression("(x[0]-0.5)*(x[1]-0.5)")
LocalSpace = FunctionSpace(mesh, "DG", 0)
w = TestFunction(LocalSpace)
form_estimator = f*w*dx
estimator = assemble(form_estimator, mesh=mesh)

# Create a meshfunction and set it to false
markers = MeshFunction("bool", mesh, mesh.topology().dim())
for c in cells(mesh):
    markers[c] = False

# Try to mark regions with positive values of the estimator,
# this was fine with version 1.0.0, but not with version 1.1.0.
for c in cells(mesh):
    if (estimator[c.index()] > 0.):
        markers[c] = True

# Here we can see the difference.
# Normally four square regions should be marked.
# But with version 1.1.0 everything seems to get mixed up.

In general indexing of dofs does not correspond to indexing of any entity. For resolution see question 221862.

Well, this is what I said. But the procedure above is not unknown to the developers. (at least Marie knows what I am talking about). So since this simple functionalty is removed, normally there should be an easy fix.

There's an easy fix - you have to use dofmap to access right dofs.
Example is in Johan's answer in question 221862.

OK. I should threads to the very end. I will try Johan's hint and post my solution. I think this is interesting for more users our there.

for c in cells(mesh):
    dof_ind = LocalSpace.dofmap().cell_dofs(c.index())[0]
    if (estimator[dof_ind] > 0.):
        markers[c] = True
