Hi, in freemfem, is it possible to compare the finite element  
solutions on uniformly refined meshes with the solution on  
a very very refined one (as a reference solution), in a respectively  
norm?  
Thanks

Yes , you can use the solution computer on a find grid as ling an analytical solution.

a small old example:

Thanks for pointing out this.
