Hi all,


In optimized mode, numerical operations are performed in a different order. Therefore, round-off errors may accumulate differently. Now, if the refinement indicators on the last cell to be refined and on the first not to be refined are the same in exact arithmetic, they may swap positions depending on roundoff-errors, and this effect accumulates over several refinement steps, since then we actually solve different problems. Nevertheless, qualitatively the meshes should be similar. Is that what you see?


Yes, that sounds reasonable.

I have modified the output of step-13:

Because of the first line with 25 DoFs I think the round-off errors occurs only in KellyErrorEstimator<dim>::estimate(...).
