Dear all,

I am now solving a problem using adaptive finite element method. The boundary
condition is Dirichlet condition. When the cells on boundary are locally
refined, the hanging node constraints are conflicting with inhomogeneous
constraints.

Dealing with conflicting constraints, it says:

    If you want the hanging node constraints to win, then first build these
    through the DoFTools::make_hanging_node_constraints()

    Then interpolate the boundary values using

    If the latter function encounters a boundary node that already is
    constrained, it will simply ignore the boundary values at this node and
    leave the constraint untouched.

 contained
    values or other constraints 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
    list of constraints. This is handled by using inhomogeneous constraints.
    Please note that when combining adaptive meshes and this kind of
    constraints, the Dirichlet conditions should be set first, and then
    completed by hanging node constraints, in order to make sure that the
    discretization remains consistent. See the discussion on conflicting
    constraints in the module on Constraints on degrees of freedom

I was totally confused. Which one is right?

It seems to me that both of these texts describe what the functions do. But they do different things. I think the first one does the correct thing whereas the second may not. Want to fix this in the code and the documentation?
