Detailed Description

Transfer data between a coarse mesh and an embedded refined mesh using L2 projection.

The forward, coarse-to-fine, transfer uses L2 projection. The backward, fine-to-coarse, transfer is defined locally (on a coarse element) as B = (F^t M_f F)^{-1} F^t M_f, where F is the forward transfer matrix, and M_f is the mass matrix on the union of all fine elements comprising the coarse element. Note that the backward transfer operator, B, is a left inverse of the forward transfer operator, F, i.e. B F = I. Both F and B are defined in physical space and, generally, vary between different mesh elements.

This class currently only fully supports L2 finite element spaces and fine meshes that are a uniform refinement of the coarse mesh. Generally, the coarse and fine FE spaces can have different orders, however, in order for the backward operator to be well-defined, the number of the fine dofs (in a coarse element) should not be smaller than the number of coarse dofs.

If used on H1 finite element spaces, the transfer will be performed locally, and the value of shared (interface) degrees of freedom will be determined by the value of the last transfer to be performed (according to the element numbering in the finite element space). As a consequence, the mass conservation properties for this operator from the L2 case do not carry over to H1 spaces.
