on these methods [http://arxiv.org/abs/1211.4534 here] or [http://www.math.ucsd.edu/~mleok/pdf/HaLe2012_SVI.pdf here]. This solver will be included in a package with other solvers used for the same type of problems. Some functionalities to implement would be the polynomial order adaptivity and the possibility to use the Jacobian in the function that solves the nonlinear problem at each iteration.
