Thanks. Could you answer the last question please? Basically I want to know
if I still can use cg once I use mesh refinement? I did quick calculations
with equation (7) and I see the matrix is not symmetric so I think I cannot
use it. I would like to double check with you. Which preconditioner would
you recommend for adaptive mesh refinement in elasticity?

Also, I had a question about the load balancing in the adaptive mesh
refinement. Is this automatic? When is it done? The vectors associated with
a system are balanced as well? What if we had created additional vectors
that we initialize after each refinement with the function init (const
NumericVector<T> other), i.e.
