Hello Michael, If you want to estimate the error incurred due to the use of the penalty method in a specific functional (say Q(u)), you can do so by computing epsilon*Q( du/depsilon ). Here 1/epsilon is the penalty we are setting. The function du/depsilon is the the derivative of the solution with respect to epsilon.
If you are using FEMSystem, the quantity Q( du/depsilon ) can be computed automatically using the system.forward_qoi_parameter_sensitivity function. For an example of its use, see adjoints_ex2.C and just replace system.adjoint_qoi_parameter_sensitivity function with system.forward_qoi_parameter_sensitivity function. You will also need to store the penalty parameter in a parameter_vector as in L-shaped.h and L-shaped.C. The theory behind this is a Taylor series expansion for Q in terms of epsilon about epsilon = 0, which is our non-penalized 'true' functional. Thanks.
