Setting 'a' equal or not equal to zero, it works when 'b' is equal to zero (homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on the gradient). Specifically, the convergence order of the solution is one order higher than the element degree of the solution, and the convergence order of the gradient is equal to or one order lower than the element degree of the gradient. However, when 'b' is not equal to zero ( inhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on the gradient), it does not work for the gradient, i.e. the convergence order of the solution is still one order higher than the element degree, but the convergence order of the gradient keeps 0.5 for different elements.

Could anyone explain this? Thank you.

When you plot the error as a piecewise constant function with one value per cell, is the error localized at a boundary cell?
