Degree 1 transition on a triangle

◀ Back to transition definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(0,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = - x - y + 1\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:v\mapsto v(1,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x \left(1 - 2 y\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:v\mapsto v(0,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = y \left(1 - 2 x\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:v\mapsto v(\tfrac{1}{2},\tfrac{1}{2})\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{3} = 4 x y\)

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