Guzmán–Neilan (first kind)
Click here to read what the information on this page means.
| Alternative names | Guzmán–Neilan |
| Abbreviated names | GN |
| Degrees | \(1\leqslant k\leqslant d-1\) where \(k\) is the Polynomial subdegree |
| Polynomial subdegree | \(k\) |
| Polynomial superdegree | \(d\) |
| Reference elements | triangle, tetrahedron |
| DOFs | On each vertex: point evaluations in coordinate direcions On each edge: (if \(k>1\)) point evaluations in coordinate directions at midpoints On each facet: normal integral moments with an degree \(0\) Lagrange space |
| Number of DOFs | triangle: \(9\) tetrahedron: \(\begin{cases}16&k=1\\34&k=2\end{cases}\) |
| Mapping | contravariant Piola |
| continuity | Function values are continuous. |
| Notes | This element is a modification of the Bernardi–Raugel element with the facet bubbles modified to be divergence free. |
| Categories | Vector-valued elements, Macro elements |
