Integration of microscopic function is imprecise #17

Convergence of the elliptic-elliptic mapped system is hampered by the integration of the microscopic function in the right hand side of the macroscopic equation. I think the routine is mathematically correct, but perhaps suffers from numerical errors. This has two consequences:

  1. The error does not decrease monotonically in the Picard iterations
  2. The convergence is less than second order

Replacing the numerically integrated value with the exact value fixes these problems, so I think any other sources or errors are eliminated. Two options to solve this:
