Hello.

dnu(u) is not the normal derivative of "u" but the co-normal derivative as 
described in remark 14 of the user documentation (p50).
Your pde is 
        div(L*grad(w))-w=0
so the co-normal derivative is :
        dnu(w) = -L*dn(u)
where I noted here dn(u) to be the normal derivative. So, to get 
        dn(w)=wb
you need to specify
        dnu(w) = -wb/L

This is quite tricky ... To really understand how to set dnu(w) you need to 
understand variational formulas ...

Best regards,
Stéphane.
