In this example:
- \(R\) is the reference triangle. The following numbering of the subentities of the reference is used:
- \(\mathcal{V}\) is spanned by: \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle 1\\\displaystyle 0\end{array}\right)\), \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle 0\\\displaystyle 1\end{array}\right)\), \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle x\\\displaystyle 0\end{array}\right)\), \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle 0\\\displaystyle x\end{array}\right)\), \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle y\\\displaystyle 0\end{array}\right)\), \(\left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle 0\\\displaystyle y\end{array}\right)\)
- \(\mathcal{L}=\{l_0,...,l_{5}\}\)
- Functionals and basis functions:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{0}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(1)\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{0}\)
where \(e_{0}\) is the 0th edge;
and \(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{0}\) is the tangent to edge 0.
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{0} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle - y\\\displaystyle x\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{0}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(\sqrt{3} \left(2 s_{0} - 1\right))\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{0}\)
where \(e_{0}\) is the 0th edge;
\(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{0}\) is the tangent to edge 0;
and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{0}\).
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{1} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle - \sqrt{3} y\\\displaystyle - \sqrt{3} x\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{1}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(1)\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{1}\)
where \(e_{1}\) is the 1st edge;
and \(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{1}\) is the tangent to edge 1.
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{2} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle y\\\displaystyle 1 - x\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{1}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(\sqrt{3} \left(2 s_{0} - 1\right))\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{1}\)
where \(e_{1}\) is the 1st edge;
\(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{1}\) is the tangent to edge 1;
and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{1}\).
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{3} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle \sqrt{3} y\\\displaystyle \sqrt{3} \left(x + 2 y - 1\right)\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{4}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{2}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(1)\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{2}\)
where \(e_{2}\) is the 2nd edge;
and \(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{2}\) is the tangent to edge 2.
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{4} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle 1 - y\\\displaystyle x\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{5}:\boldsymbol{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{2}}\boldsymbol{v}\cdot(\sqrt{3} \left(2 s_{0} - 1\right))\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{2}\)
where \(e_{2}\) is the 2nd edge;
\(\hat{\boldsymbol{t}}_{2}\) is the tangent to edge 2;
and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{2}\).
\(\displaystyle \boldsymbol{\phi}_{5} = \left(\begin{array}{c}\displaystyle \sqrt{3} \left(2 x + y - 1\right)\\\displaystyle \sqrt{3} x\end{array}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 2 of the reference element.
