I implemented an exact solution for the mean curvature for ellipsoids
(it's a slightly ugly expression, I just took it from
here: http://math.stackexchange.com/a/540820), and I computed the L2 and
Linfty errors between my computed values and that expression.  The
result: Convergence wrt mesh refinement - about an order of magnitude
decrease in each norm per increment of refine_global().  That's not a
tidy way to put it, but it was quick and easy.

That's a fairly safe check. Well done!


    I think this would actually make for a really nice addition to the set
    of tutorials, or the code gallery at
       http://dealii.org/code-gallery.html
    <http://dealii.org/code-gallery.html>
    Would you be interested in getting it there? (Maybe after rewriting it
    in such a way that you solve for all three components at once?)


Yes, I am very interested in doing this ( but it will have to wait until
September), thank you for asking.

That would be fantastic. Send me an off-list email when you are willing to go forward with this!

Cheers
 W.
