Modification of the linear system; ideas
Method 1: incorporate Dirichlet values through a \( B(x) \) function
and demand \( \baspsi_i=0 \) where Dirichlet values apply
Method 2: drop \( B(x) \), drop demands to \( \baspsi_i \), just assemble
as if there were no Dirichlet conditions, and modify the linear
system instead
Method 2: always choose \( \baspsi_i = \basphi_i \) for all \( i\in\If \) and set
$$
\begin{equation*}
u(x) = \sum_{j\in\If}c_j\basphi_j(x),\quad \If=\{0,\ldots,N=N_n\}
\end{equation*}

Attractive way of incorporating Dirichlet conditions.
\( u \) is treated as unknown at all boundaries when computing entries
in the linear system
