Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class FE_Nedelec< dim >

Warning: Several aspects of the implementation are experimental. For the moment, it is safe to use the element on globally refined meshes with consistent orientation of faces. See the todo entries below for more detailed caveats.

Implementation of Nédélec elements, conforming with the space H^curl. These elements generate vector fields with tangential components continuous between mesh cells.

We follow the convention that the degree of Nédélec elements denotes the polynomial degree of the largest complete polynomial subspace contained in the Nédélec space. This leads to the consistently numbered sequence of spaces

\[ Q_{k+1} \stackrel{\text{grad}}{\rightarrow} \text{Nedelec}_k \stackrel{\text{curl}}{\rightarrow} \text{RaviartThomas}_k \stackrel{\text{div}}{\rightarrow} DGQ_{k} \]

Consequently, approximation order of the Nédélec space equals the value degree given to the constructor. In this scheme, the lowest order element would be created by the call FE_Nedelec<dim>(0). Note that this follows the convention of Brezzi and Raviart, though not the one used in the original paper by Nédélec.

This class is not implemented for the codimension one case (spacedim != dim).

Todo:: Even if this element is implemented for two and three space dimensions, the definition of the node values relies on consistently oriented faces in 3D. Therefore, care should be taken on complicated meshes.

Interpolation

The interpolation operators associated with the Nédélec element are constructed such that interpolation and computing the curl are commuting operations on rectangular mesh cells. We require this from interpolating arbitrary functions as well as the restriction matrices.

Node values

The node values for an element of degree k on the reference cell are:

On edges: the moments of the tangential component with respect to polynomials of degree k.
On faces: the moments of the tangential components with respect to dim-1 dimensional FE_Nedelec polynomials of degree k-1.
In cells: the moments with respect to gradients of polynomials in FE_Q of degree k.

Generalized support points

The node values above rely on integrals, which will be computed by quadrature rules themselves. The generalized support points are a set of points such that this quadrature can be performed with sufficient accuracy. The points needed are those of QGauss_k+1 on each edge and QGauss_k+2 on each face and in the interior of the cell (or none for N₁).

◆ hp_vertex_dof_identities()

template<int dim>

std::vector< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > > FE_Nedelec< dim >::hp_vertex_dof_identities ( const FiniteElement< dim > & fe_other ) const

virtual

If, on a vertex, several finite elements are active, the hp code first assigns the degrees of freedom of each of these FEs different global indices. It then calls this function to find out which of them should get identical values, and consequently can receive the same global DoF index. This function therefore returns a list of identities between DoFs of the present finite element object with the DoFs of fe_other, which is a reference to a finite element object representing one of the other finite elements active on this particular vertex. The function computes which of the degrees of freedom of the two finite element objects are equivalent, both numbered between zero and the corresponding value of dofs_per_vertex of the two finite elements. The first index of each pair denotes one of the vertex dofs of the present element, whereas the second is the corresponding index of the other finite element.

template<int dim>

std::vector< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > > FE_Nedelec< dim >::hp_line_dof_identities ( const FiniteElement< dim > & fe_other ) const

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::get_face_interpolation_matrix	(	const FiniteElement< dim > &	source,

	)		const

virtual

Return the matrix interpolating from a face of one element to the face of the neighboring element. The size of the matrix is then source.dofs_per_face times this->dofs_per_face.

Derived elements will have to implement this function. They may only provide interpolation matrices for certain source finite elements, for example those from the same family. If they don't implement interpolation from a given element, then they must throw an exception of type FiniteElement<dim>::ExcInterpolationNotImplemented.

◆ get_subface_interpolation_matrix()

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::get_subface_interpolation_matrix	(	const FiniteElement< dim > &	source,
		const unsigned int	subface,
		FullMatrix< double > &	matrix
	)		const

virtual

Return the matrix interpolating from a face of one element to the subface of the neighboring element. The size of the matrix is then source.dofs_per_face times this->dofs_per_face.

Derived elements will have to implement this function. They may only provide interpolation matrices for certain source finite elements, for example those from the same family. If they don't implement interpolation from a given element, then they must throw an exception of type ExcInterpolationNotImplemented.

		const RefinementCase< dim > &	refinement_case = `RefinementCase<dim>::isotropic_refinement`
	)		const

virtual

Projection from a fine grid space onto a coarse grid space. If this projection operator is associated with a matrix P, then the restriction of this matrix P_i to a single child cell is returned here.

The matrix P is the concatenation or the sum of the cell matrices P_i, depending on the restriction_is_additive_flags. This distinguishes interpolation (concatenation) and projection with respect to scalar products (summation).

Row and column indices are related to coarse grid and fine grid spaces, respectively, consistent with the definition of the associated operator.

◆ get_prolongation_matrix()

template<int dim>

const FullMatrix< double > & FE_Nedelec< dim >::get_prolongation_matrix	(	const unsigned int	child,
		const RefinementCase< dim > &	refinement_case = `RefinementCase<dim>::isotropic_refinement`
	)		const

virtual

Embedding matrix between grids.

The identity operator from a coarse grid space into a fine grid space is associated with a matrix P. The restriction of this matrix P_i to a single child cell is returned here.

The matrix P is the concatenation, not the sum of the cell matrices P_i. That is, if the same non-zero entry j,k exists in in two different child matrices P_i, the value should be the same in both matrices and it is copied into the matrix P only once.

Row and column indices are related to fine grid and coarse grid spaces, respectively, consistent with the definition of the associated operator.

These matrices are used by routines assembling the prolongation matrix for multi-level methods. Upon assembling the transfer matrix between cells using this matrix array, zero elements in the prolongation matrix are discarded and will not fill up the transfer matrix.

◆ convert_generalized_support_point_values_to_nodal_values()

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::convert_generalized_support_point_values_to_nodal_values	(	const std::vector< Vector< double > > &	support_point_values,
		std::vector< double > &	nodal_values
	)		const

virtual

Given the values of a function \(f(\mathbf x)\) at the (generalized) support points, this function then computes what the nodal values of the element are, i.e., \(\Psi_i[f]\), where \(\Psi_i\) are the node functionals of the element. The values \(\Psi_i[f]\) are then the expansion coefficients for the shape functions of the finite element function that interpolates the given function \(f(x)\), i.e., \( f_h(\mathbf x) = \sum_i \Psi_i[f] \varphi_i(\mathbf x) \) is the finite element interpolant of \(f\) with the current element. The operation described here is used, for example, in the FETools::compute_node_matrix() function.

In more detail, let us assume that the generalized support points (see this glossary entry ) of the current element are \(\hat{\mathbf x}_i\) and that the node functionals associated with the current element are \(\Psi_i[\cdot]\). Then, the fact that the element is based on generalized support points, implies that if we apply \(\Psi_i\) to a (possibly vector-valued) finite element function \(\varphi\), the result must have the form \(\Psi_i[\varphi] = f_i(\varphi(\hat{\mathbf x}_i))\) – in other words, the value of the node functional \(\Psi_i\) applied to \(\varphi\) only depends on the values of \(\varphi\) at \(\hat{\mathbf x}_i\) and not on values anywhere else, or integrals of \(\varphi\), or any other kind of information.

The exact form of \(f_i\) depends on the element. For example, for scalar Lagrange elements, we have that in fact \(\Psi_i[\varphi] = \varphi(\hat{\mathbf x}_i)\). If you combine multiple scalar Lagrange elements via an FESystem object, then \(\Psi_i[\varphi] = \varphi(\hat{\mathbf x}_i)_{c(i)}\) where \(c(i)\) is the result of the FiniteElement::system_to_component_index() function's return value's first component. In these two cases, \(f_i\) is therefore simply the identity (in the scalar case) or a function that selects a particular vector component of its argument. On the other hand, for Raviart-Thomas elements, one would have that \(f_i(\mathbf y) = \mathbf y \cdot \mathbf n_i\) where \(\mathbf n_i\) is the normal vector of the face at which the shape function is defined.

Given all of this, what this function does is the following: If you input a list of values of a function \(\varphi\) at all generalized support points (where each value is in fact a vector of values with as many components as the element has), then this function returns a vector of values obtained by applying the node functionals to these values. In other words, if you pass in \(\{\varphi(\hat{\mathbf x}_i)\}_{i=0}^{N-1}\) then you will get out a vector \(\{\Psi[\varphi]\}_{i=0}^{N-1}\) where \(N\) equals dofs_per_cell.

Parameters

[in]	support_point_values	An array of size `dofs_per_cell` (which equals the number of points the get_generalized_support_points() function will return) where each element is a vector with as many entries as the element has vector components. This array should contain the values of a function at the generalized support points of the current element.
[out]	nodal_values	An array of size `dofs_per_cell` that contains the node functionals of the element applied to the given function.

Note: Given what the function is supposed to do, the function clearly can only work for elements that actually implement (generalized) support points. Elements that do not have generalized support points – e.g., elements whose nodal functionals evaluate integrals or moments of functions (such as FE_Q_Hierarchical) – can in general not make sense of the operation that is required for this function. They consequently may not implement it.

◆ interpolate() [1/3]

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::interpolate	(	std::vector< double > &	local_dofs,
		const std::vector< double > &	values
	)		const

virtual

Interpolate a set of scalar values, computed in the generalized support points.

Note: This function is implemented in FiniteElement for the case that the element has support points. In this case, the resulting coefficients are just the values in the support points. All other elements must reimplement it.

Deprecated:: Use convert_generalized_support_point_values_to_nodal_values() instead.

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::interpolate	(	std::vector< double > &	local_dofs,
		const std::vector< Vector< double > > &	values,
		const unsigned int	offset = `0`
	)		const

virtual

Interpolate a set of vector values, computed in the generalized support points.

Since a finite element often only interpolates part of a vector, offset is used to determine the first component of the vector to be interpolated. Maybe consider changing your data structures to use the next function.

Deprecated:: Use convert_generalized_support_point_values_to_nodal_values() instead.

virtual

Interpolate a set of vector values, computed in the generalized support points.

Deprecated:: Use convert_generalized_support_point_values_to_nodal_values() instead.

◆ get_constant_modes()

template<int dim>

std::pair< Table< 2, bool >, std::vector< unsigned int > > FE_Nedelec< dim >::get_constant_modes ( ) const

virtual

Return a list of constant modes of the element.

◆ memory_consumption()

template<int dim>

std::size_t FE_Nedelec< dim >::memory_consumption ( ) const

virtual

Determine an estimate for the memory consumption (in bytes) of this object.

This function is made virtual, since finite element objects are usually accessed through pointers to their base class, rather than the class itself.

Reimplemented from FiniteElement< dim, dim >.

Definition at line 6532 of file fe_nedelec.cc.

◆ clone()

template<int dim>

FiniteElement< dim > * FE_Nedelec< dim >::clone ( ) const

virtual

A sort of virtual copy constructor. Some places in the library, for example the constructors of FESystem as well as the hp::FECollection class, need to make copies of finite elements without knowing their exact type. They do so through this function.

Implements FiniteElement< dim, dim >.

◆ get_dpo_vector()

template<int dim>

std::vector< unsigned int > FE_Nedelec< dim >::get_dpo_vector	(	const unsigned int	degree,
		bool	dg = `false`
	)

staticprivate

Only for internal use. Its full name is get_dofs_per_object_vector function and it creates the dofs_per_object vector that is needed within the constructor to be passed to the constructor of FiniteElementData.

If the optional argument dg is true, the vector returned will have all degrees of freedom assigned to the cell, none on the faces and edges.

Definition at line 1986 of file fe_nedelec.cc.

◆ initialize_support_points()

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::initialize_support_points ( const unsigned int order )

private

Initialize the generalized_support_points field of the FiniteElement class and fill the tables with interpolation weights (boundary_weights and interior_weights). Called from the constructor.

◆ initialize_restriction()

template<int dim>

void FE_Nedelec< dim >::initialize_restriction ( )

private

Initialize the interpolation from functions on refined mesh cells onto the father cell. According to the philosophy of the Nédélec element, this restriction operator preserves the curl of a function weakly.
