Hi,

I've try to use a new naming conventions, as close as possible to the one used inside DOLFIN.

I hope it works better for our purposes.

I still don't have got any satisfactory answer from FENICS about a way in which we can access matrix in compressed

format, and so I'm doing some rough estimation at the beginning.

I've add two new examples (navier-stokes using chorin-temam and a mixed method for Poisson)

and I'm thus ready to start with more complex examples. 

I would like to start with the maxwell eigenvalue problem, and I was  thus wondering if someone can suggest me where I can

 find a good description of the problem from analytical and numerical point of view.

Thanks

Marco
