hi, where can I find what VariationalProblem(...nonlinear=True...) is really 
doing, I can follow until the cpp.py where the classes have been defined, but 
cannot find the .cpp data where the functions are written, my aim to find out 
is why,


Look in dolfin/fem/VariationalProblem.cpp

if I use my own Newton iteration procedure, like
...
problem = VariationalProblem(G, F, bcs=bc, ...)
dv = problem.solve()
differ = dv.vector().array()
eps = numpy.linalg.norm(differ, ord=2)
print 'K=%g : after iteration=%d , the L2-Norm of perturbation: %g ' % 
(mat['K'],iter, eps)
v.vector()[:] += dv.vector()
...


The above code doesn't apply non-zero Dirichlet bcs correctly for a Newton method.

vs. the automatized one
...
problem = VariationalProblem(G, F, bcs=bc, nonlinear=True, ...)
problem.solve(v)
...

they do not have the same convergence tendency, neither the same solution (if 
both would converge to one)?
