Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class FE_Q_iso_Q1< dim, spacedim >

Implementation of a scalar Lagrange finite element Qp-iso-Q1 that defines the finite element space of continuous, piecewise linear elements with p subdivisions in each coordinate direction. It yields an element with the same number of degrees of freedom as the Qp elements but using linear interpolation instead of higher order one. This type of element is also called macro element in the literature as it really consists of several smaller elements, namely p^dim such sub-cells.

The numbering of degrees of freedom is done in exactly the same way as in FE_Q of degree p. See there for a detailed description on how degrees of freedom are numbered within one element.

This element represents a Q-linear finite element space on a reduced mesh size h/p. Its effect is equivalent to using FE_Q of degree one on a finer mesh by a factor p if an equivalent quadrature is used. However, this element reduces the flexibility in the choice of (adaptive) mesh size by exactly this factor p, which typically reduces efficiency. On the other hand, comparing this element with p subdivisions to the FE_Q element of degree p on the same mesh shows that the convergence is typically much worse for smooth problems. In particular, Qp elements achieve interpolation orders of h^p+1 in the L2 norm, whereas these elements reach only (h/p)². For these two reasons, this element is usually not very useful as a standalone. In addition, any evaluation of face terms on the boundaries within the elements becomes impossible with this element because deal.II does not have the equivalent of FEFaceValues for lower-dimensional integrals in the interior of cells.

Nonetheless, there are a few use cases where this element actually is useful:

Systems of PDEs where certain variables demand for higher resolutions than the others and the additional degrees of freedom should be spent on increasing the resolution of linears instead of higher order polynomials, and you do not want to use two different meshes for the different components. This can be the case when irregularities (shocks) appear in the solution and stabilization techniques are used that work for linears but not higher order elements.
Stokes/Navier Stokes systems such as the one discussed in step-22 could be solved with Q2-iso-Q1 elements for velocities instead of Q2 elements. Combined with Q1 pressures they give a stable mixed element pair. However, they perform worse than the standard (Taylor-Hood \(Q_2\times Q_1\)) approach in most situations.
Preconditioning systems of FE_Q systems of higher order p with a preconditioner based on Qp-iso-Q1 elements: Some preconditioners like algebraic multigrid perform much better with linear elements than with higher order elements because they often implicitly assume a sparse connectivity between entries. Then, creating a preconditioner matrix based on these elements yields the same number of degrees of freedom (and a spectrally equivalent linear system), which can be combined with a (high order) system matrix in an iterative solver like CG.

Appropriate integration

Due to the nature of these elements as a concatenation of linears, care must be taken when selecting quadrature formulas for this element. The standard choice for an element of p subelements is a formula QIterated<dim>(QGauss<1>(2), p), which corresponds to the formula that would be used for integrating functions on a finer mesh. This is in contrast with FE_Q(p) where QGauss<dim>(p+1) is the default choice. In particular, care must be taken to not use a quadrature formula that evaluates the basis functions (and their derivatives) on sub-element boundaries as the gradients of piecewiese functions on internal boundaries are set to zero. No checks are performed internally to ensure that this is not the case - it is the user's responsibility to avoid these situations.

Also note that the usual deal.II routines for setting up sparsity patterns and assembling matrices do not make use of the increased sparsity in this element compared to FE_Q. This is because DoFTools::make_sparsity_pattern assumes coupling between all degrees of freedom within the element, whereas FE_Q_iso_Q1 with more than one subdivision does have less coupling.

template<int dim, int spacedim>

FE_Q_iso_Q1< dim, spacedim >::FE_Q_iso_Q1 ( const unsigned int n_subdivisions )

Construct a FE_Q_iso_Q1 element with a given number of subdivisions. The number of subdivision is similar to the degree in FE_Q in the sense that both elements produce the same number of degrees of freedom.

◆ get_name()

std::string FE_Q_iso_Q1< dim, spacedim >::get_name

overridevirtual

Return a string that uniquely identifies a finite element. This class returns FE_Q_iso_q1<dim>(equivalent_degree), with dim and equivalent_degree replaced by appropriate values.

std::unique_ptr< FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > > FE_Q_iso_Q1< dim, spacedim >::clone ( ) const

overridevirtual

A sort of virtual copy constructor, this function returns a copy of the finite element object. Derived classes need to override the function here in this base class and return an object of the same type as the derived class.

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.

	)		const

overridevirtual

Implementation of the corresponding function in the FiniteElement class. Since the current element is interpolatory, the nodal values are exactly the support point values. Furthermore, since the current element is scalar, the support point values need to be vectors of length 1.

		const unsigned int	codim = `0`
	)		const

finaloverridevirtual

Return whether this element dominates another one given as argument fe_other, whether it is the other way around, whether neither dominates, or if either could dominate. The codim parameter describes the codimension of the investigated subspace and specifies that it is subject to this comparison. For example, if codim==0 then this function compares which element dominates at the cell level. If codim==1, then the elements are compared at faces, i.e., the comparison happens between the function spaces of the two finite elements as restricted to a face. Larger values of codim work correspondingly.

For a definition of domination, see FiniteElementDomination::Domination and in particular the hp paper.
