I recommend using a constant source to start, so you can use MMS and look
at the actual error. This is invaluable for debugging, and
you will see that all my examples do it.

You are giving the name of a label that does not exist I think. You can
check what labels are defined (and how many points for each value)
using -dm_view.

Yes.

The Dirichlet conditions is always the exact value on the boundary. That is
what it means.

What most experimenters take for granted before they begin their
experiments is infinitely more interesting than any results to which their
experiments lead.
