4.3.1.1 Generation of stiffness matrix.

Starting with a local FEM, FDM, FVM discretization of the pde we achieve naturally a type-II matrix.
Attention : If there are convective terms in the pde and one uses higher order upwind methods then additional information is needed from neighboring elements (communication !).
