Detailed Description

template<int order, int dim, int spacedim, typename Number = double>
class DerivativeForm< order, dim, spacedim, Number >

This class represents the (tangential) derivatives of a function \( \mathbf F: {\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}} \rightarrow {\mathbb R}^{\text{spacedim}}\). Such functions are always used to map the reference dim-dimensional cell into spacedim-dimensional space. For such objects, the first derivative of the function is a linear map from \({\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}}\) to \({\mathbb R}^{\text{spacedim}}\), i.e., it can be represented as a matrix in \({\mathbb R}^{\text{spacedim}\times \text{dim}}\). This makes sense since one would represent the first derivative, \(\nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x)\) with \(\mathbf x\in {\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}}\), in such a way that the directional derivative in direction \(\mathbf d\in {\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}}\) so that

\begin{align*} \nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x) \mathbf d = \lim_{\varepsilon\rightarrow 0} \frac{\mathbf F(\mathbf x + \varepsilon \mathbf d) - \mathbf F(\mathbf x)}{\varepsilon}, \end{align*}

i.e., one needs to be able to multiply the matrix \(\nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x)\) by a vector in \({\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}}\), and the result is a difference of function values, which are in \({\mathbb R}^{\text{spacedim}}\). Consequently, the matrix must be of size \(\text{spacedim}\times\text{dim}\).

Similarly, the second derivative is a bilinear map from \({\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}} \times {\mathbb R}^{\text{dim}}\) to \({\mathbb R}^{\text{spacedim}}\), which one can think of a rank-3 object of size \(\text{spacedim}\times\text{dim}\times\text{dim}\).

In deal.II we represent these derivatives using objects of type DerivativeForm<1,dim,spacedim,Number>, DerivativeForm<2,dim,spacedim,Number> and so on.

Converts a DerivativeForm <order, dim, dim, Number> to Tensor<order+1, dim, Number>. In particular, if order == 1 and the derivative is the Jacobian of \(\mathbf F(\mathbf x)\), then Tensor[i] = \(\nabla F_i(\mathbf x)\).

◆ determinant()

template<int order, int dim, int spacedim, typename Number = double>
Number DerivativeForm< order, dim, spacedim, Number >::determinant ( ) const

Compute the volume element associated with the jacobian of the transformation \(\mathbf F\). That is to say if \(DF\) is square, it computes \(\det(DF)\), in case DF is not square returns \(\sqrt{\det(DF^T \,DF)}\).

◆ covariant_form()

template<int order, int dim, int spacedim, typename Number = double>
DerivativeForm<1, dim, spacedim, Number> DerivativeForm< order, dim, spacedim, Number >::covariant_form ( ) const

Assuming that the current object stores the Jacobian of a mapping \(\mathbf F\), then the current function computes the covariant form of the derivative, namely \((\nabla \mathbf F) {\mathbf G}^{-1}\), where \(\mathbf G = (\nabla \mathbf F)^{T}(\nabla \mathbf F)\). If \(\nabla \mathbf F\) is a square matrix (i.e., \(\mathbf F: {\mathbb R}^n \mapsto {\mathbb R}^n\)), then this function simplifies to computing \(\nabla {\mathbf F}^{-T}\).

Tensor< 1, spacedim, Number > apply_transformation ( const DerivativeForm< 1, dim, spacedim, Number > &  grad_F,
const Tensor< 1, dim, Number > &  d_x 
)

One of the uses of DerivativeForm is to apply it as a linear transformation. This function returns \(\nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x) \Delta \mathbf x\), which approximates the change in \(\mathbf F(\mathbf x)\) when \(\mathbf x\) is changed by the amount \(\Delta \mathbf x\)

\[ \nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x) \; \Delta \mathbf x \approx \mathbf F(\mathbf x + \Delta \mathbf x) - \mathbf F(\mathbf x). \]

The transformation corresponds to

\[ [\text{result}]_{i_1,\dots,i_k} = i\sum_{j} \left[\nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x)\right]_{i_1,\dots,i_k, j} \Delta x_j \]

in index notation and corresponds to \([\Delta \mathbf x] [\nabla \mathbf F(\mathbf x)]^T\) in matrix notation.

)
related

Similar to the previous apply_transformation(). In matrix notation, it computes \(DF2 \, DF1^{T}\). Moreover, the result of this operation \(\mathbf A\) can be interpreted as a metric tensor in \({\mathbb R}^\text{spacedim}\) which corresponds to the Euclidean metric tensor in \({\mathbb R}^\text{dim}\). For every pair of vectors \(\mathbf u, \mathbf v \in {\mathbb R}^\text{spacedim}\), we have:

\[ \mathbf u \cdot \mathbf A \mathbf v = \text{DF2}^{-1}(\mathbf u) \cdot \text{DF1}^{-1}(\mathbf v) \]
