◀ Back to Lagrange definition page
In this example:
l0:vv(0)

ϕ0=1x

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
l1:vv(1)

ϕ1=x

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
l2:vR(3(60s0260s0+10))v
where R is the reference element;
and s0 is a parametrisation of R.

ϕ2=3x(x1)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
l3:vR(5(280s03420s02+168s014))v
where R is the reference element;
and s0 is a parametrisation of R.

ϕ3=5x(2x23x+1)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
