How can I use Block Forms, Multiphenicsx, and Lagrange Multipliers to Solve Poisson's Equation with Pure Neumann Boundary Conditions?

Can you discuss where for which part of the code do you plan to use multiphenicsx? (I guess the Lagrange multipliers that are not there yet, but I want to be sure)
As the author of that, I cannot see it being actually used right now [1].

On pure Neumann boundary conditions, you may want to have a look at Singular poisson equation in DOLFINx

Together with @hherlyng in the next few weeks we would like to add a tutorial on pure Neumann BCs in multiphenicsx. Please get in touch with me by email to remind me that you are interested, and to post a link here when we are done.

[1] I do understand that you are indeed using multiphenicsx.fem.petsc.BlockVecSubVectorWrapper. I like that approach, otherwise I wouldn’t have prepared it ;), but just keep in mind that until you actually have restrictions you can do a similar operation using plain dolfinx, see e.g.

          # We also need to create a block vector, `x`, to store the (full)
          # solution, which we initialize using the block RHS form `L`.
          
          # +
          # Compute solution
          x = A.createVecRight()
          ksp.solve(b, x)
          
          # Create Functions and scatter x solution
          u, p = Function(V), Function(Q)
          offset = V_map.size_local * V.dofmap.index_map_bs
          u.x.array[:offset] = x.array_r[:offset]
          p.x.array[:(len(x.array_r) - offset)] = x.array_r[offset:]
          # -
          
          # We can calculate the $L^2$ norms of u and p as follows:
          
          norm_u_1 = u.x.norm()
          norm_p_1 = p.x.norm()
          if MPI.COMM_WORLD.rank == 0:

As soon as you will have multiphenicsx restrictions, then multiphenicsx.fem.petsc.BlockVecSubVectorWrapper will be the only way to go.
