◀ Back to Arnold–Boffi–Falk definition page
In this example:
l0:ve0v(1)n^0
where e0 is the 0th edge;
and n^0 is the normal to facet 0.

ϕ0=(3x(x1)3y24y+1)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
l1:ve1v(1)n^1
where e1 is the 1st edge;
and n^1 is the normal to facet 1.

ϕ1=(3x2+4x13y(1y))

This DOF is associated with edge 1 of the reference element.
l2:ve2v(1)n^2
where e2 is the 2nd edge;
and n^2 is the normal to facet 2.

ϕ2=(x(3x4)3y(y1))

This DOF is associated with edge 2 of the reference element.
l3:ve3v(1)n^3
where e3 is the 3rd edge;
and n^3 is the normal to facet 3.

ϕ3=(3x(1x)y(43y))

This DOF is associated with edge 3 of the reference element.
l4:vR(s0)v
where R is the reference element;
and s0,s1 is a parametrisation of R.

ϕ4=(6x(x1)0)

This DOF is associated with face 0 of the reference element.
l5:vR(s1)v
where R is the reference element;
and s0,s1 is a parametrisation of R.

ϕ5=(06y(y1))

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