[Libmesh-devel] Default quadrature order

2008-08-14 Thread David Knezevic
I was wondering why default_quadrature_order in fe_type returns 2*order+1? It says in the documentation that the idea is that the default quadrature rule integrates the mass matrix exactly, so shouldn't 2*order be sufficient? Using tensor product Gauss quadrature rules, the "+1" doesn't make a
