    Use energy norm with scaled elasticity part again · e088b9ed
    Sander, Oliver authored
    In the first version of the manuscript, we used to control convergence
    with an energy norm where the elasticity part was scaled with the
    residual stiffness 'k'.  As far as I remember it this wasn't really
    intentional, but the matrix for that norm just "happened to be
    available".
    
    When we started to implement the operator-splitting algorithm we wanted
    to consolidate the convergence criterion, and we replaced the scaled
    energy norm by the true energy norm.  As it turned out, this
    overestimates the error in some situations where there is a complete
    crack.  This is particularly noticeable for the models with spectrally
    split energy, for reasons that we don't quite understand.
    
    This patch puts the scaling back into the norm.  From a theoretical
    point of view the scaled energy norm is not worse than the unscaled
    one, but the iteration numbers look much better this way.
