[petsc-users] PETScFE Point Source

[Robert Walker]

Ok, let me rephrase that...something like way FEniCS (if i remember
correctly) handles this ... between two values with a very small difference
between them on each axis? Is there an example of something like that to
use as a security blanket from which to expand?
