Dear Steffen/PDELab Members,

Sorry, I am writing again because I haven't managed to solve the problem 
I asked.
Steffen, as you and Christian advised, I attached the overlapping 
version of my test parallel case.
I find the same strategy to work with FEM but apparently it doesn't work 
with DG. Does  DG works in this way or do I need to incorporate some 
things into the code?. I actually do not understand why DG fails in this 
similar way. I will appreciate some more tips on this.
Thank you.
