P.S. I like the idea of a GAUSS-interpolary basis since it'll give a diagonal mass matrix.

Sounds good Derek. John also mentioned to me that you guys are interested in L2_LAGRANGE that interpolates at gauss points. I think we could just add that to the current L2_LAGRANGE (rather than making a new type L2_GAUSS_LAGRANGE), and have a switch between NODAL and GAUSS shape functions?

Very cool David... since you brought these up a little while back we've been thinking of ways we can use them. I think they're going to turn out to be quite useful for a lot of different things (like well behaved, non-constant, discontinuous material property projections)...

Thanks for contributing this!

    I've just checked in the discontinuous Lagrange basis
    (L2_LAGRANGE) we
    discussed recently. Changing MONOMIAL to L2_LAGRANGE in
    miscellaneous_ex5 works fine in both 2D and 3D.

    A few comments:

    1. Just like in fe_monomial.C, I set compute_constraints to be a
    NOOP. I
    was surprised to see that this method is not a NOOP in L2_HIERARCHIC?

    2. Similarly, I was surprised to see that L2_HIERARCHIC returns
    C_ZERO
    rather than DISCONTINUOUS in get_continuity()?

    3. In fe_monomial.C, it looks like monomial_n_dofs() and
    monomial_n_dofs_per_elem() are identical? If so, I'd like to
    delete the
    latter (we only have one of these two functions in L2_HIERARCHIC and
    L2_LAGRANGE)

    4. For now I've just used the same "max_order" for L2_LAGRANGE and
    LAGRANGE, since I wanted to do an initial check-in based directly on
    LAGRANGE. But L2_LAGRANGE's Order is no longer related to "element
    order" (e.g. a SECOND on a TRI3 is perfectly fine for
    L2_LAGRANGE), so
    those extra valid combinations could be added to L2_LAGRANGE... this
    would also have implications for the serendipity shapes functions: we
    currently assume that QUAD8 or HEX20 implies serendipity, but
    this need
    not be true with L2_LAGRANGE.

    5. I followed the L2_HIERARCHIC approach of adding new files
    fe_l2_lagrange_shape_*D.C which are copies of fe_lagrange_shape_*D.C
    with LAGRANGE replaced by L2_LAGRANGE. But it would be possible
    to just
    call LAGRANGE's shape functions directly, rather than copying and
    pasting --- though this would need some modifications if point 4
    above
    is implemented. Any thoughts on the best thing to do here?
