NAME

basis - polynomial basis

SYNOPSYS

The basis class defines functions that evaluates a polynomial basis and its derivatives on a point. The polynomial basis is designated by a string, e.g. "P0", "P1", "P2", "bubble",... indicating the basis. The basis depends also of the reference element: triangle, square, tetrahedron (see reference_element(2)). For instance, on a square, the "P1" string designates the common Q1 four-nodes basis on the reference square.

The nodes associated to the Lagrange polynomial basis are also available by its associated accessor.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE

The basis class is a see smart_pointer(2)) class on a basis_rep class that is a pure virtual base class for effective bases, e.g. basis_P1, basis_P1, etc.
