I’m doing a nonlinear mixed laplacian and bilaplacian with PetscDM.
My energy is something like:
E=\int \left(w(\phi)+A(\nabla\phi/|\nabla\phi)^2 \xi^2 |\nabla\phi|^2
+\beta\xi^4 |\nabla^2\phi|^2 \right) dx (1)
where w is a polynomial and A is a messy scalar function of vector the normal
to \phi (\nabla\phi/|\nabla\phi).
I’m trying to solve the nonlinear Euler-Lagrange
\partial E/\partial \phi (\tilde{\phi})=0 \forall\tilde{\phi}
(2)
The natural boundary condition of this gives some messy flux on the boundary =
0.
No when I try to solve (2) with \phi interpolated with FEClough, if I enforce
periodicity it does not work and gives me exactly the same solution as though
the periodic boundary is not there.
When I do the same with \beta\equiv0 and solve (2) with FELagrange and periodic
it works perfectly as expected.

Thanks. I guess to reproduce the error, I can try to replace Hermite with
Clough-Tocher and see if this gives the same output!
