assemble function

Asked by Houdong Hu

r_x = function(V)
rho = function(V)
V_rho = function(V)
v_ext =Expression(" ")

energy_T=assemble(inner(grad(r_x),grad(r_x))*dx)
energy_H=assemble(V_rho*rho*dx)
energy_ex=assemble(v_ext*rho*dx)
energy_xc=assemble((rho**(4/3))*dx)

Do you think these four integration are making sense, I feel all of them are smaller than they should be.

I would expect energy functionals to be greater or equal to 0, and
energy_H and energy_ex are therefore not sensible to me.

You should test with some known expressions, and you may
also change the order of the approximation (order of V) to
get higher accuracy.
