/**
 * Provide a namespace which offers some operations on vectors. Among

 *
 * @note There exist two versions of almost each function. One with a
 * Mapping argument and one without. If a code uses a mapping
 * different from MappingQ1 the functions <b>with</b> mapping argument
 * should be used. Code that uses only MappingQ1 may also use the
 * functions without Mapping argument. Each of these latter functions
 * create a MappingQ1 object and just call the respective functions
 * with that object as mapping argument. The functions without Mapping
 * argument still exist to ensure backward compatibility. Nevertheless
 * it is advised to change the user's codes to store a specific
 * Mapping object and to use the functions that take this Mapping
 * object as argument. This gives the possibility to easily extend the
 * user codes to work also on mappings of higher degree, this just by
 * exchanging MappingQ1 by, for example, a MappingQ or another Mapping
 * object of interest.
 *
 * <h3>Description of operations</h3>
 *
 * This collection of methods offers the following operations:
 * <ul>
 * <li> Interpolation: assign each degree of freedom in the vector to be
 *   the value of the function given as argument. This is identical to
 *   saying that the resulting finite element function (which is
 *   isomorphic to the output vector) has exact function values in all
 *   support points of trial functions. The support point of a trial
 *   function is the point where its value equals one, e.g. for linear
 *   trial functions the support points are four corners of an
 *   element. This function therefore relies on the assumption that a
 *   finite element is used for which the degrees of freedom are
 *   function values (Lagrange elements) rather than gradients, normal
 *   derivatives, second derivatives, etc (Hermite elements, quintic
 *   Argyris element, etc.).
 *
 *   It seems inevitable that some values of the vector to be created are set
 *   twice or even more than that. The reason is that we have to loop over
 *   all cells and get the function values for each of the trial functions
 *   located thereon. This applies also to the functions located on faces and
 *   corners which we thus visit more than once. While setting the value
 *   in the vector is not an expensive operation, the evaluation of the
 *   given function may be, taking into account that a virtual function has
 *   to be called.
 *
 * <li> Projection: compute the <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>-projection of the
 * given function onto the finite element space, i.e. if <i>f</i> is
 * the function to be projected, compute <i>f<sub>h</sub></i> in
 * <i>V<sub>h</sub></i> such that
 * (<i>f<sub>h</sub></i>,<i>v<sub>h</sub></i>)=(<i>f</i>,<i>v<sub>h</sub></i>)
 * for all discrete test functions <i>v<sub>h</sub></i>. This is done
 * through the solution of the linear system of equations <i> M v =
 * f</i> where <i>M</i> is the mass matrix $m_{ij} = \int_\Omega
 * \phi_i(x) \phi_j(x) dx$ and $f_i = \int_\Omega f(x) \phi_i(x)
 * dx$. The solution vector $v$ then is the nodal representation of
 * the projection <i>f<sub>h</sub></i>. The project() functions are
 * used in the step-21 and step-23
 * tutorial programs.
 *
 *   In order to get proper results, it be may necessary to treat
 *   boundary conditions right. Below are listed some cases where this
 *   may be needed.  If needed, this is done by <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>-projection of
 *   the trace of the given function onto the finite element space
 *   restricted to the boundary of the domain, then taking this
 *   information and using it to eliminate the boundary nodes from the
 *   mass matrix of the whole domain, using the
 *   MatrixTools::apply_boundary_values() function. The projection of
 *   the trace of the function to the boundary is done with the
 *   VectorTools::project_boundary_values() (see below) function,
 *   which is called with a map of boundary functions FunctioMap in
 *   which all boundary indicators from zero to numbers::internal_face_boundary_id-1
 *   (numbers::internal_face_boundary_id is used for other purposes,
 *   see the Triangulation class documentation) point
 *   to the function to be projected. The projection to the boundary
 *   takes place using a second quadrature formula on the boundary
 *   given to the project() function. The first quadrature formula is
 *   used to compute the right hand side and for numerical quadrature
 *   of the mass matrix.
 *
 *   The projection of the boundary values first, then eliminating
 *   them from the global system of equations is not needed
 *   usually. It may be necessary if you want to enforce special
 *   restrictions on the boundary values of the projected function,
 *   for example in time dependent problems: you may want to project
 *   the initial values but need consistency with the boundary values
 *   for later times. Since the latter are projected onto the boundary
 *   in each time step, it is necessary that we also project the
 *   boundary values of the initial values, before projecting them to
 *   the whole domain.
 *
 *   Obviously, the results of the two schemes for projection are
 *   different.  Usually, when projecting to the boundary first, the
 *   <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>-norm of the difference between original
 *   function and projection over the whole domain will be larger
 *   (factors of five have been observed) while the
 *   <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>-norm of the error integrated over the
 *   boundary should of course be less. The reverse should also hold
 *   if no projection to the boundary is performed.
 *
 *   The selection whether the projection to the boundary first is
 *   needed is done with the <tt>project_to_boundary_first</tt> flag
 *   passed to the function.  If @p false is given, the additional
 *   quadrature formula for faces is ignored.
 *
 *   You should be aware of the fact that if no projection to the boundary
 *   is requested, a function with zero boundary values may not have zero
 *   boundary values after projection. There is a flag for this especially
 *   important case, which tells the function to enforce zero boundary values
 *   on the respective boundary parts. Since enforced zero boundary values
 *   could also have been reached through projection, but are more economically
 *   obtain using other methods, the @p project_to_boundary_first flag is
 *   ignored if the @p enforce_zero_boundary flag is set.
 *
 *   The solution of the linear system is presently done using a simple CG
 *   method without preconditioning and without multigrid. This is clearly not
 *   too efficient, but sufficient in many cases and simple to implement. This
 *   detail may change in the future.
 *
 * <li> Creation of right hand side vectors:
 *   The create_right_hand_side() function computes the vector
 *   $f_i = \int_\Omega f(x) \phi_i(x) dx$. This is the same as what the
 *   <tt>MatrixCreator::create_*</tt> functions which take a right hand side do,
 *   but without assembling a matrix.
 *
 * <li> Creation of right hand side vectors for point sources:
 *   The create_point_source_vector() function computes the vector
 *   $f_i = \int_\Omega \delta(x-x_0) \phi_i(x) dx$.
 *
 * <li> Creation of boundary right hand side vectors: The
 *   create_boundary_right_hand_side() function computes the vector
 *   $f_i = \int_{\partial\Omega} g(x) \phi_i(x) dx$. This is the
 *   right hand side contribution of boundary forces when having
 *   inhomogeneous Neumann boundary values in Laplace's equation or
 *   other second order operators. This function also takes an
 *   optional argument denoting over which parts of the boundary the
 *   integration shall extend. If the default argument is used, it is applied
 *   to all boundaries.
 *
 * <li> Interpolation of boundary values:
 *   The MatrixTools::apply_boundary_values() function takes a list
 *   of boundary nodes and their values. You can get such a list by interpolation
 *   of a boundary function using the interpolate_boundary_values() function.
 *   To use it, you have to
 *   specify a list of pairs of boundary indicators (of type <tt>types::boundary_id</tt>;
 *   see the section in the documentation of the Triangulation class for more
 *   details) and the according functions denoting the dirichlet boundary values
 *   of the nodes on boundary faces with this boundary indicator.
 *
 *   Usually, all other boundary conditions, such as inhomogeneous Neumann values
 *   or mixed boundary conditions are handled in the weak formulation. No attempt
 *   is made to include these into the process of matrix and vector assembly therefore.
 *
 *   Within this function, boundary values are interpolated, i.e. a node is given
 *   the point value of the boundary function. In some cases, it may be necessary
 *   to use the L2-projection of the boundary function or any other method. For
 *   this purpose we refer to the project_boundary_values()
 *   function below.
 *
 *   You should be aware that the boundary function may be evaluated at nodes
 *   on the interior of faces. These, however, need not be on the true
 *   boundary, but rather are on the approximation of the boundary represented
 *   by the mapping of the unit cell to the real cell. Since this mapping will
 *   in most cases not be the exact one at the face, the boundary function is
 *   evaluated at points which are not on the boundary and you should make
 *   sure that the returned values are reasonable in some sense anyway.
 *
 *   In 1d the situation is a bit different since there faces (i.e. vertices) have
 *   no boundary indicator. It is assumed that if the boundary indicator zero
 *   is given in the list of boundary functions, the left boundary point is to be
 *   interpolated while the right boundary point is associated with the boundary
 *   index 1 in the map. The respective boundary functions are then evaluated at
 *   the place of the respective boundary point.
 *
 * <li> Projection of boundary values:
 *   The project_boundary_values() function acts similar to the
 *   interpolate_boundary_values() function, apart from the fact that it does
 *   not get the nodal values of boundary nodes by interpolation but rather
 *   through the <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>-projection of the trace of the function to the boundary.
 *
 *   The projection takes place on all boundary parts with boundary
 *   indicators listed in the map (FunctioMap::FunctionMap)
 *   of boundary functions. These boundary parts may or may not be
 *   continuous. For these boundary parts, the mass matrix is
 *   assembled using the
 *   MatrixTools::create_boundary_mass_matrix() function, as
 *   well as the appropriate right hand side. Then the resulting
 *   system of equations is solved using a simple CG method (without
 *   preconditioning), which is in most cases sufficient for the
 *   present purpose.
 *
 * <li> Computing errors:
 *   The function integrate_difference() performs the calculation of
 *   the error between a given (continuous) reference function and the
 *   finite element solution in different norms. The integration is
 *   performed using a given quadrature formula and assumes that the
 *   given finite element objects equals that used for the computation
 *   of the solution.
 *
 *   The result is stored in a vector (named @p difference), where each entry
 *   equals the given norm of the difference on a cell. The order of entries
 *   is the same as a @p cell_iterator takes when started with @p begin_active and
 *   promoted with the <tt>++</tt> operator.
 *
 *   This data, one number per active cell, can be used to generate
 *   graphical output by directly passing it to the DataOut class
 *   through the DataOut::add_data_vector function. Alternatively, it
 *   can be interpolated to the nodal points of a finite element field
 *   using the DoFTools::distribute_cell_to_dof_vector function.
 *
 *   Presently, there is the possibility to compute the following values from the
 *   difference, on each cell: @p mean, @p L1_norm, @p L2_norm, @p Linfty_norm,
 *   @p H1_seminorm and @p H1_norm, see VectorTools::NormType.
 *   For the mean difference value, the reference function minus the numerical
 *   solution is computed, not the other way round.
 *
 *   The infinity norm of the difference on a given cell returns the maximum
 *   absolute value of the difference at the quadrature points given by the
 *   quadrature formula parameter. This will in some cases not be too good
 *   an approximation, since for example the Gauss quadrature formulae do
 *   not evaluate the difference at the end or corner points of the cells.
 *   You may want to choose a quadrature formula with more quadrature points
 *   or one with another distribution of the quadrature points in this case.
 *   You should also take into account the superconvergence properties of finite
 *   elements in some points: for example in 1D, the standard finite element
 *   method is a collocation method and should return the exact value at nodal
 *   points. Therefore, the trapezoidal rule should always return a vanishing
 *   L-infinity error. Conversely, in 2D the maximum L-infinity error should
 *   be located at the vertices or at the center of the cell, which would make
 *   it plausible to use the Simpson quadrature rule. On the other hand, there
 *   may be superconvergence at Gauss integration points. These examples are not
 *   intended as a rule of thumb, rather they are thought to illustrate that the
 *   use of the wrong quadrature formula may show a significantly wrong result
 *   and care should be taken to chose the right formula.
 *
 *   The <i>H</i><sup>1</sup> seminorm is the <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>
 *   norm of the gradient of the difference. The square of the full
 *   <i>H</i><sup>1</sup> norm is the sum of the square of seminorm
 *   and the square of the <i>L</i><sup>2</sup> norm.
 *
 *   To get the global <i>L<sup>1</sup></i> error, you have to sum up the
 *   entries in @p difference, e.g. using
 *   Vector::l1_norm() function.  For the global <i>L</i><sup>2</sup>
 *   difference, you have to sum up the squares of the entries and
 *   take the root of the sum, e.g. using
 *   Vector::l2_norm().  These two operations
 *   represent the <i>l</i><sub>1</sub> and <i>l</i><sub>2</sub> norms of the vectors, but you need
 *   not take the absolute value of each entry, since the cellwise
 *   norms are already positive.
 *
 *   To get the global mean difference, simply sum up the elements as above.
 *   To get the $L_\infty$ norm, take the maximum of the vector elements, e.g.
 *   using the Vector::linfty_norm() function.
 *
 *   For the global <i>H</i><sup>1</sup> norm and seminorm, the same rule applies as for the
 *   <i>L</i><sup>2</sup> norm: compute the <i>l</i><sub>2</sub> norm
 *   of the cell error vector.
 *
 *   Note that, in the codimension one case, if you ask for a norm
 *   that requires the computation of a gradient, then the provided
 *   function is automatically projected along the curve, and the
 *   difference is only computed on the tangential part of the
 *   gradient, since no information is available on the normal
 *   component of the gradient anyway.
 * </ul>
 *
 * All functions use the finite element given to the DoFHandler object the last
 * time that the degrees of freedom were distributed over the triangulation. Also,
 * if access to an object describing the exact form of the boundary is needed, the
 * pointer stored within the triangulation object is accessed.

   * Compute Dirichlet boundary

   * of degrees of freedom subject

   * conditions and the corresponding values to
   * be assigned to them, by
   * interpolation around the
   * boundary. If the

   * values before, the new ones
   * are added, or the old ones
   * overwritten if a node of the
   * boundary part to be used
   * was already in the
   * map of boundary values.
   *
   * The parameter
   * @p function_map
   * provides a list of boundary
   * indicators to be handled by
   * this function and corresponding
   * boundary value functions. The
   * keys of this map
   * correspond to the number
   * @p boundary_indicator of the
   * face.  numbers::internal_face_boundary_id
   * is an illegal value for this key since
   * it is reserved for interior faces.
   *
   * The flags in the last
   * parameter, @p component_mask
   * denote which components of the
   * finite element space shall be
   * interpolated. If it is left as
   * specified by the default value
   * (i.e. an empty array), all
   * components are
   * interpolated. If it is
   * different from the default
   * value, it is assumed that the
   * number of entries equals the
   * number of components in the
   * boundary functions and the
   * finite element, and those
   * components in the given
   * boundary function will be used
   * for which the respective flag
   * was set in the component mask.
   * See also @ref GlossComponentMask. As an example, assume that you are
   * solving the Stokes equations in 2d, with variables $(u,v,p)$ and that
   * you only want to interpolate boundary values for the pressure, then
   * the component mask should correspond to <code>(true,true,false)</code>.
   *
   * @note Whether a component mask has been specified or not, the number
   * of components of the functions
   * in @p function_map must match that
   * of the finite element used by
   * @p dof. In other words, for the example above, you need to provide a
   * Function object that has 3 components (the two velocities and the
   * pressure), even though you are only
   * interested in the first two of them. interpolate_boundary_values()
   * will then call this function to obtain a vector of 3 values at each
   * interpolation point but only take the first two and discard the third.
   * In other words, you are free to return whatever you like in the third
   * component of the vector returned by Function::vector_value, but the
   * Function object must state that it has 3 components.
   *
   * If the finite element used has
   * shape functions that are
   * non-zero in more than one
   * component (in deal.II speak:
   * they are non-primitive), then
   * these components can presently
   * not be used for interpolating
   * boundary values. Thus, the
   * elements in the component mask
   * corresponding to the
   * components of these
   * non-primitive shape functions
   * must be @p false.

  /**
   * This function computes the constraints that correspond to boundary conditions of the

   * vector-valued quantity. These conditions have exactly the form handled by

   * degrees of freedom and corresponding value, we here create a list of
   * constraints that are written into a ConstraintMatrix. This object may
   * already have some content, for example from hanging node constraints,
   * that remains untouched. These constraints have to be applied to the
   * linear system like any other such constraints, i.e. you have to condense
   * the linear system with the constraints before solving, and you have to
   * distribute the solution vector afterwards.
   *
   * The use of this function is explained in more detail in step-31. It
   * doesn't make much sense in 1d, so the function throws an exception in
   * that case.
   *
   * The second argument of this function denotes the first vector component
   * in the finite element that corresponds to the vector function that you
   * want to constrain. For example, if we were solving a Stokes equation in
   * 2d and the finite element had components $(u,v,p)$, then @p
   * first_vector_component would be zero. On the other hand, if we solved the
   * Maxwell equations in 3d and the finite element has components
   * $(E_x,E_y,E_z,B_x,B_y,B_z)$ and we want the boundary condition $\vec
   * n\cdot \vec B=0$, then @p first_vector_component would be 3. Vectors are
   * implicitly assumed to have exactly <code>dim</code> components that are
   * ordered in the same way as we usually order the coordinate directions,
   * i.e. $x$-, $y$-, and finally $z$-component. The function assumes, but
   * can't check, that the vector components in the range
   * <code>[first_vector_component,first_vector_component+dim)</code> come
   * from the same base finite element. For example, in the Stokes example
   * above, it would not make sense to use a
   * <code>FESystem@<dim@>(FE_Q@<dim@>(2), 1, FE_Q@<dim@>(1), dim)</code>
   * (note that the first velocity vector component is a $Q_2$ element,
   * whereas all the other ones are $Q_1$ elements) as there would be points
   * on the boundary where the $x$-velocity is defined but no corresponding
   * $y$- or $z$-velocities.
   *
   * The third argument denotes the set of boundary indicators on which the
   * boundary condition is to be enforced. Note that, as explained below, this
   * is one of the few functions where it makes a difference where we call the
   * function multiple times with only one boundary indicator, or whether we
   * call the function onces with the whole set of boundary indicators at
   * once.
   *
   * The mapping argument is used to compute the boundary points where the
   * function needs to request the normal vector $\vec n$ from the boundary
   * description.
   *
   * @note When combining adaptively refined meshes with hanging node
   * constraints and boundary conditions like from the current function within
   * one ConstraintMatrix object, the hanging node constraints should always
   * be set first, and then the boundary conditions since boundary conditions
   * are not set in the second operation on degrees of freedom that are
   * already constrained. This makes sure that the discretization remains
   * conforming as is needed. See the discussion on conflicting constraints in
   * the module on @ref constraints .
   *
   *
   * <h4>Computing constraints in 2d</h4>
   *
   * Computing these constraints requires some smarts. The main question
   * revolves around the question what the normal vector is. Consider the
   * following situation: <p ALIGN="center"> @image html no_normal_flux_1.png
   * </p>
   *
   * Here, we have two cells that use a bilinear mapping
   * (i.e. MappingQ1). Consequently, for each of the cells, the normal vector
   * is perpendicular to the straight edge. If the two edges at the top and
   * right are meant to approximate a curved boundary (as indicated by the
   * dashed line), then neither of the two computed normal vectors are equal
   * to the exact normal vector (though they approximate it as the mesh is
   * refined further). What is worse, if we constrain $\vec n \cdot \vec u=0$
   * at the common vertex with the normal vector from both cells, then we
   * constrain the vector $\vec u$ with respect to two linearly independent
   * vectors; consequently, the constraint would be $\vec u=0$ at this point
   * (i.e. <i>all</i> components of the vector), which is not what we wanted.
   *
   * To deal with this situation, the algorithm works in the following way: at
   * each point where we want to constrain $\vec u$, we first collect all
   * normal vectors that adjacent cells might compute at this point. We then
   * do not constrain $\vec n \cdot \vec u=0$ for <i>each</i> of these normal
   * vectors but only for the <i>average</i> of the normal vectors. In the
   * example above, we therefore record only a single constraint $\vec n \cdot
   * \vec {\bar u}=0$, where $\vec {\bar u}$ is the average of the two
   * indicated normal vectors.
   *
   * Unfortunately, this is not quite enough. Consider the situation here:
   *
   * <p ALIGN="center">
   * @image html no_normal_flux_2.png
   * </p>
   *
   * If again the top and right edges approximate a curved boundary, and the
   * left boundary a separate boundary (for example straight) so that the
   * exact boundary has indeed a corner at the top left vertex, then the above
   * construction would not work: here, we indeed want the constraint that
   * $\vec u$ at this point (because the normal velocities with respect to
   * both the left normal as well as the top normal vector should be zero),
   * not that the velocity in the direction of the average normal vector is
   * zero.
   *
   * Consequently, we use the following heuristic to determine whether all
   * normal vectors computed at one point are to be averaged: if two normal
   * vectors for the same point are computed on <i>different</i> cells, then
   * they are to be averaged. This covers the first example above. If they are
   * computed from the same cell, then the fact that they are different is
   * considered indication that they come from different parts of the boundary
   * that might be joined by a real corner, and must not be averaged.
   *
   * There is one problem with this scheme. If, for example, the same domain
   * we have considered above, is discretized with the following mesh, then we
   * get into trouble:
   *
   * <p ALIGN="center">
   * @image html no_normal_flux_3.png
   * </p>
   *
   * Here, the algorithm assumes that the boundary does not have a corner at
   * the point where faces $F1$ and $F2$ join because at that point there are
   * two different normal vectors computed from different cells. If you intend
   * for there to be a corner of the exact boundary at this point, the only
   * way to deal with this is to assign the two parts of the boundary
   * different boundary indicators and call this function twice, once for each
   * boundary indicators; doing so will yield only one normal vector at this
   * point per invocation (because we consider only one boundary part at a
   * time), with the result that the normal vectors will not be averaged. This
   * situation also needs to be taken into account when using this function
   * around reentrant corners on Cartesian meshes. If no-normal-flux boundary
   * conditions are to be enforced on non-Cartesian meshes around reentrant
   * corners, one may even get cycles in the constraints as one will in
   * general constrain different components from the two sides. In that case,
   * set a no-slip constraint on the reentrant vertex first.
   *
   *
   * <h4>Computing constraints in 3d</h4>
   *
   * The situation is more complicated in 3d. Consider the following case
   * where we want to compute the constraints at the marked vertex:
   *
   * <p ALIGN="center">
   * @image html no_normal_flux_4.png
   * </p>
   *
   * Here, we get four different normal vectors, one from each of the four
   * faces that meet at the vertex. Even though they may form a complete set
   * of vectors, it is not our intent to constrain all components of the
   * vector field at this point. Rather, we would like to still allow
   * tangential flow, where the term "tangential" has to be suitably defined.
   *
   * In a case like this, the algorithm proceeds as follows: for each cell
   * that has computed two tangential vectors at this point, we compute the
   * unconstrained direction as the outer product of the two tangential
   * vectors (if necessary multiplied by minus one). We then average these
   * tangential vectors. Finally, we compute constraints for the two
   * directions perpendicular to this averaged tangential direction.
   *
   * There are cases where one cell contributes two tangential directions and
   * another one only one; for example, this would happen if both top and
   * front faces of the left cell belong to the boundary selected whereas only
   * the top face of the right cell belongs to it, maybe indicating the the entire
   * front part of the domain is a smooth manifold whereas the top really forms
   * two separate manifolds that meet in a ridge, and that no-flux boundary
   * conditions are only desired on the front manifold and the right one on top.
   * In cases like these, it's difficult to define what should happen. The
   * current implementation simply ignores the one contribution from the
   * cell that only contributes one normal vector. In the example shown, this
   * is acceptable because the normal vector for the front face of the left
   * cell is the same as the normal vector provided by the front face of
   * the right cell (the surface is planar) but it would be a problem if the
   * front manifold would be curved. Regardless, it is unclear how one would
   * proceed in this case and ignoring the single cell is likely the best
   * one can do.
   *
   *
   * <h4>Results</h4>
   *
   * Because it makes for good pictures, here are two images of vector fields
   * on a circle and on a sphere to which the constraints computed by this
   * function have been applied:
   *
   * <p ALIGN="center">
   * @image html no_normal_flux_5.png
   * @image html no_normal_flux_6.png
   * </p>
   *
   * The vectors fields are not physically reasonable but the tangentiality
   * constraint is clearly enforced. The fact that the vector fields are zero
   * at some points on the boundary is an artifact of the way it is created,
   * it is not constrained to be zero at these points.

   * where $X$ denotes the norm chosen and $u$ represents the exact solution.
   *
   * It is assumed that the number of components of the function
   * @p exact_solution matches that of the finite element used by @p dof.
   *
   * @param[in] mapping The mapping that is used when integrating the
   *     difference $u-u_h$.
   * @param[in] dof The DoFHandler object that describes the finite
   *     element space in which the solution vector lives.
   * @param[in] fe_function A vector with nodal values representing the
   *     numerical approximation $u_h$. This vector needs to correspond
   *     to the finite element space represented by @p dof
   * @param[out] difference The vector of values $d_K$ computed as above.
   * @param[in] q The quadrature formula used to approximate the integral
   *     shown above. Note that some quadrature formulas are more useful
   *     than other in integrating $u-u_h$. For example, it is known that
   *     the $Q_1$ approximation $u_h$ to the exact solution $u$ of a Laplace
   *     equation is particularly accurate (in fact, superconvergent, i.e.
   *     accurate to higher order) at the 4 Gauss points of a cell in 2d
   *     (or 8 points in 3d) that correspond to a QGauss(2) object. Consequently,
   *     because a QGauss(2) formula only evaluates the two solutions at these
   *     particular points, choosing this quadrature formula may indicate an error
   *     far smaller than it actually is.
   * @param[in] norm The norm $X$ shown above that should be computed.
   * @param[in] weight The additional argument @p weight allows to evaluate weighted
   *     norms.  The weight function may be scalar, establishing a weight
   *     in the domain for all components equally. This may be used, for
   *     instance, to only integrate over parts of the domain. The weight function
   *     may also be vector-valued, with as many components as the finite element:
   *     Then, different components get different weights. A typical application is when
   *     the error with respect to only one or a subset of the solution
   *     variables is to be computed, in which the other components would
   *     have weight values equal to zero. The ComponentSelectFunction
   *     class is particularly useful for this purpose as it provides
   *     such as "mask" weight..
   *     The weight function is expected to be positive, but negative
   *     values are not filtered. By default, no weighting function is
   *     given, i.e. weight=1 in the whole domain for all vector
   *     components uniformly.
   * @param[in] exponent This value denotes the $p$ used in computing
   *     $L^p$-norms and $W^{1,p}$-norms. The value is ignores if a @p norm
   *     other than NormType::Lp_norm or NormType::W1p_norm is chosen.
   *
   *
   * See the general documentation of this
   * class for more information.
   *
   * @note If the integration here happens over the cells of a
   * parallel::distribute::Triangulation object, then this function
   * computes the vector elements $d_K$ for an output vector with as
   * many cells as there are active cells of the triangulation object
   * of the current processor. However, not all active cells are in
   * fact locally owned: some may be ghost or artificial cells (see
   * @ref GlossGhostCell "here" and @ref GlossArtificialCell
   * "here"). The vector computed will, in the case of a distributed
   * triangulation, contain zeros for cells that are not locally
   * owned. As a consequence, in order to compute the <i>global</i>
   * $L_2$ error (for example), the errors from different processors
   * need to be combined, but this is simple because every processor
   * only computes contributions for those cells of the global
   * triangulation it locally owns (and these sets are, by definition,
   * mutually disjoint). Consequently, the following piece of code
   * computes the global $L_2$ error across multiple processors
   * sharing a parallel::distribute::Triangulation:
   * @code
   *    Vector<double> local_errors (tria.n_active_cells());
   *    VectorTools::integrate_difference (mapping, dof,
   *                                       solution, exact_solution,
   *                                       local_errors,
   *                                       QGauss<dim>(fe.degree+2),
   *                                       NormType::L2_norm);
   *    const double total_local_error = local_errors.l2_norm();
   *    const double total_global_error
   *      = std::sqrt (Utilities::MPI::sum (total_local_error * total_local_error, MPI_COMM_WORLD));
   * @endcode
   * The squaring and taking the square root is necessary in order to
   * compute the sum of squares of norms over all all cells in the definition
   * of the $L_2$ norm:
   * @f{align*}
   *   \textrm{error} = \sqrt{\sum_K \|u-u_h\|_{L_2(K)}^2}
   * @f}
   * Obviously, if you are interested in computing the $L_1$ norm of the
   * error, the correct form of the last two lines would have been
   * @code
   *    const double total_local_error = local_errors.l1_norm();
   *    const double total_global_error
   *      = Utilities::MPI::sum (total_local_error, MPI_COMM_WORLD);
   * @endcode
   * instead, and similar considerations hold when computing the $L_\infty$
   * norm of the error.

  /**
   * Subtract the (algebraic) mean value from a vector.
   *
   * This function is most frequently used as a mean-value filter for
   * Stokes: The pressure in Stokes' equations with only Dirichlet
   * boundaries for the velocities is only determined up to a constant.
   * This function allows to subtract the mean value of the pressure. It is
   * usually called in a preconditioner and generates updates with mean
   * value zero. The mean value is computed as the mean value of the
   * degrees of freedom values as given by the input vector; they are not
   * weighted by the area of cells, i.e. the mean is computed as $\sum_i
   * v_i$, rather than as $\int_\Omega v(x) = \int_\Omega \sum_i v_i
   * \phi_i(x)$. The latter can be obtained from the
   * VectorTools::compute_mean_function, however.
   *
   * Apart from the vector @p v to operate on, this function takes a
   * boolean mask @p p_select that has a true entry for every element of
   * the vector for which the mean value shall be computed and later
   * subtracted. The argument is used to denote which components of the
   * solution vector correspond to the pressure, and avoid touching all
   * other components of the vector, such as the velocity components.
   * (Note, however, that the mask is not a @ref GlossComponentMask
   * operating on the vector components of the finite element the solution
   * vector @p v may be associated with; rather, it is a mask on the entire
   * vector, without reference to what the vector elements mean.)
   *
   * The boolean mask @p p_select has an empty vector as default value,
   * which  will be interpreted as selecting all vector elements, hence,
   * subtracting the algebraic mean value on the whole vector. This allows
   * to call this function without a boolean mask if the whole vector
   * should be processed.
   *
   * @note In the context of using this function to filter out the kernel
   * of an operator (such as the null space of the Stokes operator that
   * consists of the constant pressures), this function only makes sense
   * for finite elements for which the null space indeed consists of the
   * vector $(1,1,\ldots,1)^T$. This is the case for example for the usual
   * Lagrange elements where the sum of all shape functions equals the
   * function that is constant one. However, it is not true for some other
   * functions: for example, for the FE_DGP element (another valid choice
   * for the pressure in Stokes discretizations), the first shape function
   * on each cell is constant while further elements are $L_2$ orthogonal
   * to it (on the reference cell); consequently, the sum of all shape
   * functions is not equal to one, and the vector that is associated with
   * the constant mode is not equal to $(1,1,\ldots,1)^T$. For such
   * elements, a different procedure has to be used when subtracting the
   * mean value.
