In this example:
- \(R\) is the reference quadrilateral. The following numbering of the subentities of the reference is used:
- \(\mathcal{V}\) is spanned by: \(1\), \(x\), \(x^{2}\), \(x^{3}\), \(y\), \(x y\), \(x^{2} y\), \(y^{2}\), \(x y^{2}\), \(y^{3}\), \(x y^{3}\), \(x^{3} y\)
- \(\mathcal{L}=\{l_0,...,l_{11}\}\)
- Functionals and basis functions:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(0,0)\)
\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 10 x^{3} y - 10 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} y + 18 x^{2} + 10 x y^{3} - 18 x y^{2} + 17 x y - 9 x - 10 y^{3} + 18 y^{2} - 9 y + 1\)
