L-Shape (Elliptic)

This is a standard adaptivity benchmark whose exact solution is smooth but contains singular gradient in a re-entrant corner.

Model problem

Equation solved: Laplace equation

(1)-\Delta u = 0.

Domain of interest:

Computational domain.

Exact solution

(2)u(x, y) = r^{2/3}\sin(2a/3 + \pi/3)

where r(x,y) = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} and a(x,y) = \mbox{atan}(x/y).

Boundary conditions

Nonconstant Dirichlet, matching the exact solution.
