Detailed Description

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

Implementation of a scalar Lagrange finite element Qp that yields the finite element space of continuous, piecewise polynomials of degree p in each coordinate direction. This class is realized using tensor product polynomials based on 1D Lagrange polynomials with equidistant (degree up to 2), Gauss-Lobatto (starting from degree 3), or given support points.

The standard constructor of this class takes the degree p of this finite element. Alternatively, it can take a quadrature formula points defining the support points of the Lagrange interpolation in one coordinate direction.

For more information about the spacedim template parameter check the documentation of FiniteElement or the one of Triangulation.

Implementation

The constructor creates a TensorProductPolynomials object that includes the tensor product of LagrangeEquidistant polynomials of degree p. This TensorProductPolynomials object provides all values and derivatives of the shape functions. In case a quadrature rule is given, the constructor creates a TensorProductPolynomials object that includes the tensor product of Lagrange polynomials with the support points from points.

Furthermore the constructor fills the interface_constraints, the prolongation (embedding) and the restriction matrices. These are implemented only up to a certain degree and may not be available for very high polynomial degree.

Unit support point distribution and conditioning of interpolation

When constructing an FE_Q element at polynomial degrees one or two, equidistant support points at 0 and 1 (linear case) or 0, 0.5, and 1 (quadratic case) are used. The unit support or nodal points xi are those points where the jth Lagrange polynomial satisfies the \(\delta_{ij}\) property, i.e., where one polynomial is one and all the others are zero. For higher polynomial degrees, the support points are non-equidistant by default, and chosen to be the support points of the (degree+1)-order Gauss-Lobatto quadrature rule. This point distribution yields well-conditioned Lagrange interpolation at arbitrary polynomial degrees. By contrast, polynomials based on equidistant points get increasingly ill-conditioned as the polynomial degree increases. In interpolation, this effect is known as the Runge phenomenon. For Galerkin methods, the Runge phenomenon is typically not visible in the solution quality but rather in the condition number of the associated system matrices. For example, the elemental mass matrix of equidistant points at degree 10 has condition number 2.6e6, whereas the condition number for Gauss-Lobatto points is around 400.

The Gauss-Lobatto points in 1D include the end points 0 and +1 of the unit interval. The interior points are shifted towards the end points, which gives a denser point distribution close to the element boundary.

If combined with Gauss-Lobatto quadrature, FE_Q based on the default support points gives diagonal mass matrices. This case is demonstrated in step-48. However, this element can be combined with arbitrary quadrature rules through the usual FEValues approach, including full Gauss quadrature. In the general case, the mass matrix is non-diagonal.

Numbering of the degrees of freedom (DoFs)

The original ordering of the shape functions represented by the TensorProductPolynomials is a tensor product numbering. However, the shape functions on a cell are renumbered beginning with the shape functions whose support points are at the vertices, then on the line, on the quads, and finally (for 3d) on the hexes. To be explicit, these numberings are listed in the following:

Q1 elements

In 2d, these shape functions look as follows:

\(Q_1\) element, shape function 0

\(Q_1\) element, shape function 1

\(Q_1\) element, shape function 2

Q2 elements

In 2d, these shape functions look as follows (the black plane corresponds to zero; negative shape function values may not be visible):

\(Q_2\) element, shape function 0

\(Q_2\) element, shape function 1

\(Q_2\) element, shape function 2

\(Q_2\) element, shape function 3

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Conformity

template<int dim>
enum FiniteElementData::Conformity
inherited

Enumerator for the different types of continuity a finite element may have. Continuity is measured by the Sobolev space containing the constructed finite element space and is also called this way.

Note that certain continuities may imply others. For instance, a function in H1 is in Hcurl and Hdiv as well.

If you are interested in continuity in the classical sense, then the following relations hold:

  1. H1 implies that the function is continuous over cell boundaries.

  2. H2 implies that the function is continuously differentiable over cell boundaries.

  3. L2 indicates that the element is discontinuous. Since discontinuous elements have no topological couplings between grid cells and code may actually depend on this property, L2 conformity is handled in a special way in the sense that it is not implied by any higher conformity.

In order to test if a finite element conforms to a certain space, use FiniteElementData<dim>::conforms().

Enumerator
unknown 

Indicates incompatible continuities of a system.

L2 

Discontinuous elements. See above!

Hcurl 

Conformity with the space Hcurl (continuous tangential component of a vector field)

Hdiv 

Conformity with the space Hdiv (continuous normal component of a vector field)

H1 

Conformity with the space H1 (continuous)

H2 

Conformity with the space H2 (continuously differentiable)

◆ FE_Q() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim>
FE_Q< dim, spacedim >::FE_Q ( const unsigned int  p)

Constructor for tensor product polynomials of degree p based on Gauss-Lobatto support (node) points. For polynomial degrees of one and two, these are the usual equidistant points.

Definition at line 61 of file fe_q.cc.

◆ FE_Q() [2/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim>
FE_Q< dim, spacedim >::FE_Q ( const Quadrature< 1 > &  points)

Constructor for tensor product polynomials with support points points based on a one-dimensional quadrature formula. The degree of the finite element is points.size()-1. Note that the first point has to be 0 and the last one 1. Constructing FE_Q<dim>(QGaussLobatto<1>(fe_degree+1)) is equivalent to the constructor that specifies the polynomial degree only. For selecting equidistant nodes at fe_degree > 2, construct FE_Q<dim>(QIterated<1>(QTrapezoid<1>(),fe_degree)).

The space created by this constructor is the same as if you had called FE_Q<dim>(points.size()-1), but what is different are the basis functions of this space. This is useful in contexts where one wants to achieve certain properties of the matrices that result from integrating bilinear forms of these shape functions. For example, when computing the mass matrix on cell \(K\),

\[ M_{ij}^K = \int_K \varphi_i(\mathbf x) \varphi_j(\mathbf x) \; dx \]

one generally applies a quadrature formula and approximates the real mass matrix by the following:

\[ M_{ij}^K = \sum_q \varphi_i(\mathbf x_q) \varphi_j(\mathbf x_q) w_q, \]

where the locations of the quadrature points \(\mathbf x_q\) and the weights \(w_q\) depend on the cell \(K\). If the quadrature formula used to define these points \(\mathbf x_q\) is the same as the one passed to this constructor (or, in higher dimensions, is generated by a tensor product of the one used to the constructor), then \(\varphi_i(\mathbf x_q) = \delta_{iq}\), and the matrix reduces to

\[ M_{ij}^K = \sum_q \delta_{iq} \delta_{jq} w_q = \delta_{ij} w_i, \]

i.e., a diagonal matrix with the weights \(w_i\) on the diagonal. Such constructions are quite useful when using explicit time stepping methods because, for example, one then only has to invert a diagonal mass matrix in each time step when solving the linear system.

◆ clone()

template<int dim, int spacedim>

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.

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.

FiniteElementDomination::Domination FE_Q< dim, spacedim >::compare_for_domination ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe_other,
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.

Return the matrix interpolating from the given finite element to the present one. The size of the matrix is then dofs_per_cell times source.n_dofs_per_cell().

These matrices are only available if the source element is also a FE_Q element. Otherwise, an exception of type FiniteElement<dim,spacedim>::ExcInterpolationNotImplemented is thrown.

) const
overridevirtualinherited

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. The FE_Q element family only provides interpolation matrices for elements of the same type and FE_Nothing.

◆ has_support_on_face()

virtual bool FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::has_support_on_face ( const unsigned int  shape_index,

This function returns true, if the shape function shape_index has non-zero function values somewhere on the face face_index.

◆ get_restriction_matrix()

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

Projection from a fine grid space onto a coarse grid space. Overrides the respective method in FiniteElement, implementing lazy evaluation (initialize when requested).

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.

If projection matrices are not implemented in the derived finite element class, this function aborts with ExcProjectionVoid. You can check whether this is the case by calling the restriction_is_implemented() or the isotropic_restriction_is_implemented() function.

◆ get_prolongation_matrix()

virtual const FullMatrix< double > & FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::get_prolongation_matrix ( const unsigned int  child,
const RefinementCase< dim > &  refinement_case = RefinementCase<dim>::isotropic_refinement 
) const
overridevirtualinherited

Embedding matrix between grids. Overrides the respective method in FiniteElement, implementing lazy evaluation (initialize when queried).

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 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.

If projection matrices are not implemented in the derived finite element class, this function aborts with ExcEmbeddingVoid. You can check whether this is the case by calling the prolongation_is_implemented() or the isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented() function.

◆ face_to_cell_index()

virtual unsigned int FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::face_to_cell_index ( const unsigned int  face_dof_index,
const unsigned int  face,
const bool  face_orientation = true,
const bool  face_flip = false,
const bool  face_rotation = false 
) const
overridevirtualinherited

Given an index in the natural ordering of indices on a face, return the index of the same degree of freedom on the cell.

To explain the concept, consider the case where we would like to know whether a degree of freedom on a face, for example as part of an FESystem element, is primitive. Unfortunately, the is_primitive() function in the FiniteElement class takes a cell index, so we would need to find the cell index of the shape function that corresponds to the present face index. This function does that.

Code implementing this would then look like this:

for (i=0; i<dofs_per_face; ++i)
if (fe.is_primitive(fe.face_to_cell_index(i, some_face_no)))
... do whatever
const unsigned int dofs_per_face
Definition: fe_base.h:405

The function takes additional arguments that account for the fact that actual faces can be in their standard ordering with respect to the cell under consideration, or can be flipped, oriented, etc.

Parameters
face_dof_indexThe index of the degree of freedom on a face. This index must be between zero and dofs_per_face.
faceThe number of the face this degree of freedom lives on. This number must be between zero and GeometryInfo::faces_per_cell.
face_orientationOne part of the description of the orientation of the face. See GlossFaceOrientation.
face_flipOne part of the description of the orientation of the face. See GlossFaceOrientation.
face_rotationOne part of the description of the orientation of the face. See GlossFaceOrientation.
Returns
The index of this degree of freedom within the set of degrees of freedom on the entire cell. The returned value will be between zero and dofs_per_cell.

◆ get_constant_modes()

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

◆ hp_constraints_are_implemented()

virtual bool FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::hp_constraints_are_implemented ( ) const
overridevirtualinherited

For the FE_Q class the result is always true (independent of the degree of the element), as it implements the complete set of functions necessary for hp-capability.

◆ hp_vertex_dof_identities()

virtual std::vector< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > > FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::hp_vertex_dof_identities ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe_other) const
overridevirtualinherited

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 n_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.

staticinherited

Attempt to construct an FE_Q object of degree 0

Note
The message that will be printed by this exception reads:

◆ get_dpo_vector()

◆ requires_update_flags()

virtual UpdateFlags FE_Poly< dim, spacedim >::requires_update_flags ( const UpdateFlags  update_flags) const
overridevirtualinherited

Given a set of update flags, compute which other quantities also need to be computed in order to satisfy the request by the given flags. Then return the combination of the original set of flags and those just computed.

As an example, if update_flags contains update_gradients a finite element class will typically require the computation of the inverse of the Jacobian matrix in order to rotate the gradient of shape functions on the reference cell to the real cell. It would then return not just update_gradients, but also update_covariant_transformation, the flag that makes the mapping class produce the inverse of the Jacobian matrix.

◆ get_data()

virtual std::unique_ptr< typename FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::InternalDataBase > FE_Poly< dim, spacedim >::get_data ( const UpdateFlags  update_flags,
const Mapping< dim, spacedim > &  mapping,
const Quadrature< dim > &  quadrature,
::internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData< dim, spacedim > &  output_data 
) const
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtualinherited

Create an internal data object and return a pointer to it of which the caller of this function then assumes ownership. This object will then be passed to the FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() every time the finite element shape functions and their derivatives are evaluated on a concrete cell. The object created here is therefore used by derived classes as a place for scratch objects that are used in evaluating shape functions, as well as to store information that can be pre-computed once and re-used on every cell (e.g., for evaluating the values and gradients of shape functions on the reference cell, for later re-use when transforming these values to a concrete cell).

This function is the first one called in the process of initializing a FEValues object for a given mapping and finite element object. The returned object will later be passed to FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() for a concrete cell, which will itself place its output into an object of type internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData. Since there may be data that can already be computed in its final form on the reference cell, this function also receives a reference to the internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData object as its last argument. This output argument is guaranteed to always be the same one when used with the InternalDataBase object returned by this function. In other words, the subdivision of scratch data and final data in the returned object and the output_data object is as follows: If data can be pre- computed on the reference cell in the exact form in which it will later be needed on a concrete cell, then this function should already emplace it in the output_data object. An example are the values of shape functions at quadrature points for the usual Lagrange elements which on a concrete cell are identical to the ones on the reference cell. On the other hand, if some data can be pre-computed to make computations on a concrete cell cheaper, then it should be put into the returned object for later re-use in a derive class's implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_values(). An example are the gradients of shape functions on the reference cell for Lagrange elements: to compute the gradients of the shape functions on a concrete cell, one has to multiply the gradients on the reference cell by the inverse of the Jacobian of the mapping; consequently, we cannot already compute the gradients on a concrete cell at the time the current function is called, but we can at least pre-compute the gradients on the reference cell, and store it in the object returned.

An extensive discussion of the interaction between this function and FEValues can be found in the How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together documentation module. See also the documentation of the InternalDataBase class.

Parameters
[in]update_flagsA set of UpdateFlags values that describe what kind of information the FEValues object requests the finite element to compute. This set of flags may also include information that the finite element can not compute, e.g., flags that pertain to data produced by the mapping. An implementation of this function needs to set up all data fields in the returned object that are necessary to produce the finite- element related data specified by these flags, and may already pre- compute part of this information as discussed above. Elements may want to store these update flags (or a subset of these flags) in InternalDataBase::update_each so they know at the time when FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() is called what they are supposed to compute
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping used for computing values and derivatives of shape functions.
[in]quadratureA reference to the object that describes where the shape functions should be evaluated.
[out]output_dataA reference to the object that FEValues will use in conjunction with the object returned here and where an implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() will place the requested information. This allows the current function to already pre-compute pieces of information that can be computed on the reference cell, as discussed above. FEValues guarantees that this output object and the object returned by the current function will always be used together.
Returns
A pointer to an object of a type derived from InternalDataBase and that derived classes can use to store scratch data that can be pre- computed, or for scratch arrays that then only need to be allocated once. The calling site assumes ownership of this object and will delete it when it is no longer necessary.

Compute information about the shape functions on the cell denoted by the first argument. Derived classes will have to implement this function based on the kind of element they represent. It is called by FEValues::reinit().

Conceptually, this function evaluates shape functions and their derivatives at the quadrature points represented by the mapped locations of those described by the quadrature argument to this function. In many cases, computing derivatives of shape functions (and in some cases also computing values of shape functions) requires making use of the mapping from the reference to the real cell; this information can either be taken from the mapping_data object that has been filled for the current cell before this function is called, or by calling the member functions of a Mapping object with the mapping_internal object that also corresponds to the current cell.

The information computed by this function is used to fill the various member variables of the output argument of this function. Which of the member variables of that structure should be filled is determined by the update flags stored in the FiniteElement::InternalDataBase::update_each field of the object passed to this function. These flags are typically set by FiniteElement::get_data(), FiniteElement::get_face_date() and FiniteElement::get_subface_data() (or, more specifically, implementations of these functions in derived classes).

An extensive discussion of the interaction between this function and FEValues can be found in the How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together documentation module.

Parameters
[in]cellThe cell of the triangulation for which this function is to compute a mapping from the reference cell to.
[in]cell_similarityWhether or not the cell given as first argument is simply a translation, rotation, etc of the cell for which this function was called the most recent time. This information is computed simply by matching the vertices (as stored by the Triangulation) between the previous and the current cell. The value passed here may be modified by implementations of this function and should then be returned (see the discussion of the return value of this function).
[in]quadratureA reference to the quadrature formula in use for the current evaluation. This quadrature object is the same as the one used when creating the internal_data object. The current object is then responsible for evaluating shape functions at the mapped locations of the quadrature points represented by this object.
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping object used to map from the reference cell to the current cell. This object was used to compute the information in the mapping_data object before the current function was called. It is also the mapping object that created the mapping_internal object via Mapping::get_data(). You will need the reference to this mapping object most often to call Mapping::transform() to transform gradients and higher derivatives from the reference to the current cell.
[in]mapping_internalAn object specific to the mapping object. What the mapping chooses to store in there is of no relevance to the current function, but you may have to pass a reference to this object to certain functions of the Mapping class (e.g., Mapping::transform()) if you need to call them from the current function.
[in]mapping_dataThe output object into which the Mapping::fill_fe_values() function wrote the mapping information corresponding to the current cell. This includes, for example, Jacobians of the mapping that may be of relevance to the current function, as well as other information that FEValues::reinit() requested from the mapping.
[in]fe_internalA reference to an object previously created by get_data() and that may be used to store information the mapping can compute once on the reference cell. See the documentation of the FiniteElement::InternalDataBase class for an extensive description of the purpose of these objects.
[out]output_dataA reference to an object whose member variables should be computed. Not all of the members of this argument need to be filled; which ones need to be filled is determined by the update flags stored inside the fe_internal object.
Note
FEValues ensures that this function is always called with the same pair of fe_internal and output_data objects. In other words, if an implementation of this function knows that it has written a piece of data into the output argument in a previous call, then there is no need to copy it there again in a later call if the implementation knows that this is the same value.

Correct the shape Hessians by subtracting the terms corresponding to the Jacobian pushed forward gradient.

Before the correction, the Hessians would be given by

\[ D_{ijk} = \frac{d^2\phi_i}{d \hat x_J d \hat x_K} (J_{jJ})^{-1} (J_{kK})^{-1}, \]

where \(J_{iI}=\frac{d x_i}{d \hat x_I}\). After the correction, the correct Hessians would be given by

\[ \frac{d^2 \phi_i}{d x_j d x_k} = D_{ijk} - H_{mjk} \frac{d \phi_i}{d x_m}, \]

Correct the shape third derivatives by subtracting the terms corresponding to the Jacobian pushed forward gradient and second derivative.

Before the correction, the third derivatives would be given by

\[ D_{ijkl} = \frac{d^3\phi_i}{d \hat x_J d \hat x_K d \hat x_L} (J_{jJ})^{-1} (J_{kK})^{-1} (J_{lL})^{-1}, \]

◆ operator^()

std::pair< std::unique_ptr< FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator^ ( const unsigned int  multiplicity) const
inherited

Creates information for creating a FESystem with this class as base element and with multiplicity multiplicity. In particular, the return type of this function can be used in the constructor for a FESystem object. This function calls clone() and hence creates a copy of the current object.

◆ operator[]()

const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator[] ( const unsigned int  fe_index) const
inherited

This operator returns a reference to the present object if the argument given equals to zero. While this does not seem particularly useful, it is helpful in writing code that works with both DoFHandler and the hp- version hp::DoFHandler, since one can then write code like this:

dof_handler->get_fe()[cell->active_fe_index()].n_dofs_per_cell();
const unsigned int dofs_per_cell
Definition: fe_base.h:419

This code doesn't work in both situations without the present operator because DoFHandler::get_fe() returns a finite element, whereas hp::DoFHandler::get_fe() returns a collection of finite elements that doesn't offer a dofs_per_cell member variable: one first has to select which finite element to work on, which is done using the operator[]. Fortunately, cell->active_fe_index() also works for non-hp-classes and simply returns zero in that case. The present operator[] accepts this zero argument, by returning the finite element with index zero within its collection (that, of course, consists only of the present finite element anyway).

Deprecated:
With DoFHandler::get_fe(int) and the deprecation of the hp::DoFHandler class, there is no more use of this operator.

◆ prolongation_is_implemented()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::prolongation_is_implemented ( ) const
inherited

Return whether this element implements its prolongation matrices. The return value also indicates whether a call to the get_prolongation_matrix() function will generate an error or not.

Note, that this function returns true only if the prolongation matrices of the isotropic and all anisotropic refinement cases are implemented. If you are interested in the prolongation matrices for isotropic refinement only, use the isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented function instead.

This function is mostly here in order to allow us to write more efficient test programs which we run on all kinds of weird elements, and for which we simply need to exclude certain tests in case something is not implemented. It will in general probably not be a great help in applications, since there is not much one can do if one needs these features and they are not implemented. This function could be used to check whether a call to get_prolongation_matrix() will succeed; however, one then still needs to cope with the lack of information this just expresses.

◆ isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented ( ) const
inherited

Return whether this element implements its prolongation matrices for isotropic children. The return value also indicates whether a call to the get_prolongation_matrix function will generate an error or not.

◆ restriction_is_implemented()

inherited

Return whether this element implements its restriction matrices. The return value also indicates whether a call to the get_restriction_matrix() function will generate an error or not.

Note, that this function returns true only if the restriction matrices of the isotropic and all anisotropic refinement cases are implemented. If you are interested in the restriction matrices for isotropic refinement only, use the isotropic_restriction_is_implemented() function instead.

◆ restriction_is_additive()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::restriction_is_additive ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Access the restriction_is_additive_flags field. See the discussion about restriction matrices in the general class documentation for more information.

The index must be between zero and the number of shape functions of this element.

◆ constraints()

const FullMatrix< double > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::constraints ( const ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim > &  subface_case = ::internal::SubfaceCase<dim>::case_isotropic) const
inherited

Return a read only reference to the matrix that describes the constraints at the interface between a refined and an unrefined cell.

Some finite elements do not (yet) implement hanging node constraints. If this is the case, then this function will generate an exception, since no useful return value can be generated. If you should have a way to live with this, then you might want to use the constraints_are_implemented() function to check up front whether this function will succeed or generate the exception.

◆ constraints_are_implemented()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::constraints_are_implemented ( const ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim > &  subface_case = ::internal::SubfaceCase<dim>::case_isotropic) const
inherited

Return whether this element implements its hanging node constraints. The return value also indicates whether a call to the constraints() function will generate an error or not.

This function is mostly here in order to allow us to write more efficient test programs which we run on all kinds of weird elements, and for which we simply need to exclude certain tests in case hanging node constraints are not implemented.

◆ operator==() [1/2]

virtual bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator== ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe) const
virtualinherited

Comparison operator.

The implementation in the current class checks for equality of the following pieces of information between the current object and the one given as argument, in this order:

  • the dynamic type (i.e., the type of the most derived class) of the current object and of the given object,
  • the name returned by get_name(),
  • as all of the fields in FiniteElementData,
  • constraint matrices.

This covers most cases where elements can differ, but there are cases of derived elements that are different and for which the current function still returns true. For these cases, derived classes should overload this function.

Note
This operator specifically does not check the following member variables of the current class:
  • restriction matrices,
  • prolongation matrices of this object and the argument. This is because these member variables may be initialized only on demand by derived classes, rather than being available immediately. Consequently, comparing these members would not only be costly because these are generally big arrays, but also because their computation may be expensive. On the other hand, derived classes for which these arrays may differ for two objects even though the above list compares as equal, will probably want to implement their own operator==() anyway.

◆ operator==() [2/2]

template<int dim>
bool FiniteElementData< dim >::operator== ( const FiniteElementData< dim > &  f) const

Comparison operator.

Definition at line 180 of file fe_data.cc.

◆ operator!=()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator!= ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  ) const
inherited

Non-equality comparison operator. Defined in terms of the equality comparison operator.

◆ system_to_component_index()

std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_component_index ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Compute vector component and index of this shape function within the shape functions corresponding to this component from the index of a shape function within this finite element.

If the element is scalar, then the component is always zero, and the index within this component is equal to the overall index.

If the shape function referenced has more than one non-zero component, then it cannot be associated with one vector component, and an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive will be raised.

Note that if the element is composed of other (base) elements, and a base element has more than one component but all its shape functions are primitive (i.e. are non-zero in only one component), then this mapping contains valid information. However, the index of a shape function of this element within one component (i.e. the second number of the respective entry of this array) does not indicate the index of the respective shape function within the base element (since that has more than one vector-component). For this information, refer to the system_to_base_table field and the system_to_base_index() function.

See the class description above for an example of how this function is typically used.

The use of this function is explained extensively in the step-8 and step-20 tutorial programs as well as in the Handling vector valued problems module.

◆ component_to_system_index()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_system_index ( const unsigned int  component,
const unsigned int  index 
) const
inherited

Compute the shape function for the given vector component and index.

If the element is scalar, then the component must be zero, and the index within this component is equal to the overall index.

This is the opposite operation from the system_to_component_index() function.

◆ face_system_to_component_index()

std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_component_index ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0 
) const
inherited

Same as system_to_component_index(), but do it for shape functions and their indices on a face. The range of allowed indices is therefore 0..dofs_per_face.

You will rarely need this function in application programs, since almost all application codes only need to deal with cell indices, not face indices. The function is mainly there for use inside the library.

◆ adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no,
const bool  face_orientation,
const bool  face_flip,
const bool  face_rotation 
) const
inherited

For faces with non-standard face_orientation in 3D, the dofs on faces (quads) have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a quad, return the local index, if the face has non-standard face_orientation, face_flip or face_rotation. In 2D and 1D there is no need for permutation and consequently an exception is thrown.

◆ adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation ( const unsigned int  index,
const bool  line_orientation 
) const
inherited

For lines with non-standard line_orientation in 3D, the dofs on lines have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a line, return the local index, if the line has non-standard line_orientation. In 2D and 1D there is no need for permutation, so the given index is simply returned.

◆ get_nonzero_components()

const ComponentMask & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_nonzero_components ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return in which of the vector components of this finite element the ith shape function is non-zero. The length of the returned array is equal to the number of vector components of this element.

For most finite element spaces, the result of this function will be a vector with exactly one element being true, since for most spaces the individual vector components are independent. In that case, the component with the single zero is also the first element of what system_to_component_index() returns.

Only for those spaces that couple the components, for example to make a shape function divergence free, will there be more than one true entry. Elements for which this is true are called non-primitive (see GlossPrimitive).

◆ n_nonzero_components()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_nonzero_components ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return in how many vector components the ith shape function is non- zero. This value equals the number of entries equal to true in the result of the get_nonzero_components() function.

For most finite element spaces, the result will be equal to one. It is not equal to one only for those ansatz spaces for which vector-valued shape functions couple the individual components, for example in order to make them divergence-free.

◆ is_primitive() [1/2]

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::is_primitive ( ) const
inherited

Return whether the entire finite element is primitive, in the sense that all its shape functions are primitive. If the finite element is scalar, then this is always the case.

Since this is an extremely common operation, the result is cached and returned by this function.

◆ is_primitive() [2/2]

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::is_primitive ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return whether the ith shape function is primitive in the sense that the shape function is non-zero in only one vector component. Non- primitive shape functions would then, for example, be those of divergence free ansatz spaces, in which the individual vector components are coupled.

The result of the function is true if and only if the result of n_nonzero_components(i) is equal to one.

◆ n_base_elements()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_base_elements ( ) const
inherited

Number of base elements in a mixed discretization.

Note that even for vector valued finite elements, the number of components needs not coincide with the number of base elements, since they may be reused. For example, if you create a FESystem with three identical finite element classes by using the constructor that takes one finite element and a multiplicity, then the number of base elements is still one, although the number of components of the finite element is equal to the multiplicity.

◆ base_element()

virtual const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::base_element ( const unsigned int  index) const
virtualinherited

Access to base element objects. If the element is atomic, then base_element(0) is this.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ element_multiplicity()

unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::element_multiplicity ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

This index denotes how often the base element index is used in a composed element. If the element is atomic, then the result is always equal to one. See the documentation for the n_base_elements() function for more details.

◆ get_sub_fe() [1/2]

const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_sub_fe ( const ComponentMask mask) const
inherited

Return a reference to a contained finite element that matches the components selected by the given ComponentMask mask.

For an arbitrarily nested FESystem, this function returns the inner-most FiniteElement that matches the given mask. The method fails if the mask does not exactly match one of the contained finite elements. It is most useful if the current object is an FESystem, as the return value can only be this in all other cases.

Note that the returned object can be an FESystem if the mask matches it but not any of the contained objects.

Let us illustrate the function with the an FESystem fe with 7 components:

FESystem<2> fe_velocity(FE_Q<2>(2), 2);
FE_Q<2> fe_pressure(1);
FE_DGP<2> fe_dg(0);
FE_BDM<2> fe_nonprim(1);
FESystem<2> fe(fe_velocity, 1, fe_pressure, 1, fe_dg, 2, fe_nonprim, 1);
Definition: fe_bdm.h:60
Definition: fe_dgp.h:310
Definition: fe_q.h:549

The following table lists all possible component masks you can use:

ComponentMask Result Description

virtual const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_sub_fe ( const unsigned int  first_component,
const unsigned int  n_selected_components 
) const
virtualinherited

Return a reference to a contained finite element that matches the components n_selected_components components starting at component with index first_component.

See the other get_sub_fe() function above for more details.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ system_to_base_index()

std::pair< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Return for shape function index the base element it belongs to, the number of the copy of this base element (which is between zero and the multiplicity of this element), and the index of this shape function within this base element.

If the element is not composed of others, then base and instance are always zero, and the index is equal to the number of the shape function. If the element is composed of single instances of other elements (i.e. all with multiplicity one) all of which are scalar, then base values and dof indices within this element are equal to the system_to_component_table. It differs only in case the element is composed of other elements and at least one of them is vector-valued itself.

See the class documentation above for an example of how this function is typically used.

This function returns valid values also in the case of vector-valued (i.e. non-primitive) shape functions, in contrast to the system_to_component_index() function.

◆ face_system_to_base_index()

std::pair< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0 
) const
inherited

Same as system_to_base_index(), but for degrees of freedom located on a face. The range of allowed indices is therefore 0..dofs_per_face.

You will rarely need this function in application programs, since almost all application codes only need to deal with cell indices, not face indices. The function is mainly there for use inside the library.

◆ first_block_of_base()

types::global_dof_index FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::first_block_of_base ( const unsigned int  b) const
inherited

Given a base element number, return the first block of a BlockVector it would generate.

◆ component_to_base_index()

std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  component) const
inherited

For each vector component, return which base element implements this component and which vector component in this base element this is. This information is only of interest for vector-valued finite elements which are composed of several sub-elements. In that case, one may want to obtain information about the element implementing a certain vector component, which can be done using this function and the FESystem::base_element() function.

If this is a scalar finite element, then the return value is always equal to a pair of zeros.

◆ block_to_base_index()

std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  block) const
inherited

Return the base element for this block and the number of the copy of the base element.

◆ system_to_block_index()

std::pair< unsigned int, types::global_dof_index > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_block_index ( const unsigned int  component) const

ComponentMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::Scalar scalar) const
inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the one component is true that corresponds to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Parameters

A component mask that is false in all components except for the one that corresponds to the argument.

◆ component_mask() [2/4]

ComponentMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::Vector vector) const
inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Parameters
vectorAn object that represents dim vector components of this finite element.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ component_mask() [3/4]

ComponentMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::SymmetricTensor< 2 > &  sym_tensor) const
inherited

Parameters
sym_tensorAn object that represents dim*(dim+1)/2 components of this finite element that are jointly to be interpreted as forming a symmetric tensor.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ component_mask() [4/4]

ComponentMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_mask ( const BlockMask block_mask) const
inherited

Given a block mask (see this glossary entry), produce a component mask (see this glossary entry) that represents the components that correspond to the blocks selected in the input argument. This is essentially a conversion operator from BlockMask to ComponentMask.

Parameters
block_maskThe mask that selects individual blocks of the finite element
Returns
A mask that selects those components corresponding to the selected blocks of the input argument.

◆ block_mask() [1/4]

BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::Scalar scalar) const
inherited

Return a block mask with as many elements as this object has blocks and of which exactly the one component is true that corresponds to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
This function will only succeed if the scalar referenced by the argument encompasses a complete block. In other words, if, for example, you pass an extractor for the single \(x\) velocity and this object represents an FE_RaviartThomas object, then the single scalar object you selected is part of a larger block and consequently there is no block mask that would represent it. The function will then produce an exception.
Parameters
scalarAn object that represents a single scalar vector component of this finite element.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the one that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [2/4]

BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::Vector vector) const
inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
The same caveat applies as to the version of the function above: The extractor object passed as argument must be so that it corresponds to full blocks and does not split blocks of this element.
Parameters
vectorAn object that represents dim vector components of this finite element.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [3/4]

BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::SymmetricTensor< 2 > &  sym_tensor) const
inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim*(dim+1)/2 components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
The same caveat applies as to the version of the function above: The extractor object passed as argument must be so that it corresponds to full blocks and does not split blocks of this element.
Parameters
sym_tensorAn object that represents dim*(dim+1)/2 components of this finite element that are jointly to be interpreted as forming a symmetric tensor.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [4/4]

BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const ComponentMask component_mask) const
inherited

Given a component mask (see this glossary entry), produce a block mask (see this glossary entry) that represents the blocks that correspond to the components selected in the input argument. This is essentially a conversion operator from ComponentMask to BlockMask.

Note
This function will only succeed if the components referenced by the argument encompasses complete blocks. In other words, if, for example, you pass an component mask for the single \(x\) velocity and this object represents an FE_RaviartThomas object, then the single component you selected is part of a larger block and consequently there is no block mask that would represent it. The function will then produce an exception.
Parameters
component_maskThe mask that selects individual components of the finite element
Returns
A mask that selects those blocks corresponding to the selected blocks of the input argument.

◆ get_unit_support_points()

const std::vector< Point< dim > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_unit_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return the support points of the trial functions on the unit cell, if the derived finite element defines them. Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, the returned field is empty.

If the finite element defines support points, then their number equals the number of degrees of freedom of the element. The order of points in the array matches that returned by the cell->get_dof_indices function.

See the class documentation for details on support points.

Note
Finite elements' implementation of this function returns these points in the same order as shape functions. The order of shape functions is typically documented in the class documentation of the various finite element classes. In particular, shape functions (and consequently the mapped quadrature points discussed in the class documentation of this class) will then traverse first those shape functions located on vertices, then on lines, then on quads, etc.
If this element implements support points, then it will return one such point per shape function. Since multiple shape functions may be defined at the same location, the support points returned here may be duplicated. An example would be an element of the kind FESystem(FE_Q(1),3) for which each support point would appear three times in the returned array.

◆ has_support_points()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined support points. If the result is true, then a call to the get_unit_support_points() yields a non-empty array.

The result may be false if an element is not defined by interpolating shape functions, for example by P-elements on quadrilaterals. It will usually only be true if the element constructs its shape functions by the requirement that they be one at a certain point and zero at all the points associated with the other shape functions.

In composed elements (i.e. for the FESystem class), the result will be true if all the base elements have defined support points. FE_Nothing is a special case in FESystems, because it has 0 support points and has_support_points() is false, but an FESystem containing an FE_Nothing among other elements will return true.

◆ unit_support_point()

virtual Point< dim > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_support_point ( const unsigned int  index) const
virtualinherited

Return the position of the support point of the indexth shape function. If it does not exist, raise an exception.

The default implementation simply returns the respective element from the array you get from get_unit_support_points(), but derived elements may overload this function. In particular, note that the FESystem class overloads it so that it can return the support points of individual base elements, if not all the base elements define support points. In this way, you can still ask for certain support points, even if get_unit_support_points() only returns an empty array.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ get_unit_face_support_points()

const std::vector< Point< dim - 1 > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_unit_face_support_points ( const unsigned int  face_no = 0) const
inherited

Return the support points of the trial functions on the unit face, if the derived finite element defines some. Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, the returned field is empty

Note that elements that have support points need not necessarily have some on the faces, even if the interpolation points are located physically on a face. For example, the discontinuous elements have interpolation points on the vertices, and for higher degree elements also on the faces, but they are not defined to be on faces since in that case degrees of freedom from both sides of a face (or from all adjacent elements to a vertex) would be identified with each other, which is not what we would like to have). Logically, these degrees of freedom are therefore defined to belong to the cell, rather than the face or vertex. In that case, the returned element would therefore have length zero.

If the finite element defines support points, then their number equals the number of degrees of freedom on the face (dofs_per_face). The order of points in the array matches that returned by the cell->face(face)->get_dof_indices function.

See the class documentation for details on support points.

◆ has_face_support_points()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_face_support_points ( const unsigned int  face_no = 0) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined support points on faces. If the result is true, then a call to the get_unit_face_support_points() yields a non-empty vector.

For more information, see the documentation for the has_support_points() function.

◆ unit_face_support_point()

virtual Point< dim - 1 > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_face_support_point ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0

virtualinherited

The function corresponding to the unit_support_point() function, but for faces. See there for more information.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ get_generalized_support_points()

const std::vector< Point< dim > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_generalized_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return a vector of generalized support points.

Note
The vector returned by this function is always a minimal set of unique support points. This is in contrast to the behavior of get_unit_support_points() that returns a repeated list of unit support points for an FESystem of numerous (Lagrangian) base elements.

See the glossary entry on generalized support points for more information.

◆ has_generalized_support_points()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_generalized_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined generalized support points. If the result is true, then a call to the get_generalized_support_points() yields a non-empty vector.

See the glossary entry on generalized support points for more information.

◆ get_associated_geometry_primitive()

GeometryPrimitive FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_associated_geometry_primitive ( const unsigned int  cell_dof_index) const
inherited

For a given degree of freedom, return whether it is logically associated with a vertex, line, quad or hex.

For instance, for continuous finite elements this coincides with the lowest dimensional object the support point of the degree of freedom lies on. To give an example, for \(Q_1\) elements in 3d, every degree of freedom is defined by a shape function that we get by interpolating using support points that lie on the vertices of the cell. The support of these points of course extends to all edges connected to this vertex, as well as the adjacent faces and the cell interior, but we say that logically the degree of freedom is associated with the vertex as this is the lowest- dimensional object it is associated with. Likewise, for \(Q_2\) elements in 3d, the degrees of freedom with support points at edge midpoints would yield a value of GeometryPrimitive::line from this function, whereas those on the centers of faces in 3d would return GeometryPrimitive::quad.

To make this more formal, the kind of object returned by this function represents the object so that the support of the shape function corresponding to the degree of freedom, (i.e., that part of the domain where the function "lives") is the union of all of the cells sharing this object. To return to the example above, for \(Q_2\) in 3d, the shape function with support point at an edge midpoint has support on all cells that share the edge and not only the cells that share the adjacent faces, and consequently the function will return GeometryPrimitive::line.

On the other hand, for discontinuous elements of type \(DGQ_2\), a degree of freedom associated with an interpolation polynomial that has its support point physically located at a line bounding a cell, but is nonzero only on one cell. Consequently, it is logically associated with the interior of that cell (i.e., with a GeometryPrimitive::quad in 2d and a GeometryPrimitive::hex in 3d).

Parameters
[in]cell_dof_indexThe index of a shape function or degree of freedom. This index must be in the range [0,dofs_per_cell).
Note
The integer value of the object returned by this function equals the dimensionality of the object it describes, and can consequently be used in generic programming paradigms. For example, if a degree of freedom is associated with a vertex, then this function returns GeometryPrimitive::vertex, which has a numeric value of zero (the dimensionality of a vertex).

Return the size of interface constraint matrices. Since this is needed in every derived finite element class when initializing their size, it is placed into this function, to avoid having to recompute the dimension- dependent size of these matrices each time.

Note that some elements do not implement the interface constraints for certain polynomial degrees. In this case, this function still returns the size these matrices should have when implemented, but the actual matrices are empty.

protectedvirtualinherited

Like get_data(), but return an object that will later be used for evaluating shape function information at quadrature points on faces of cells. The object will then be used in calls to implementations of FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values(). See the documentation of get_data() for more information.

The default implementation of this function converts the face quadrature into a cell quadrature with appropriate quadrature point locations, and with that calls the get_data() function above that has to be implemented in derived classes.

Parameters
[in]update_flagsA set of UpdateFlags values that describe what kind of information the FEValues object requests the finite element to compute. This set of flags may also include information that the finite element can not compute, e.g., flags that pertain to data produced by the mapping. An implementation of this function needs to set up all data fields in the returned object that are necessary to produce the finite- element related data specified by these flags, and may already pre- compute part of this information as discussed above. Elements may want to store these update flags (or a subset of these flags) in InternalDataBase::update_each so they know at the time when FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values() is called what they are supposed to compute
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping used for computing values and derivatives of shape functions.
[in]quadratureA reference to the object that describes where the shape functions should be evaluated.
[out]output_dataA reference to the object that FEValues will use in conjunction with the object returned here and where an implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values() will place the requested information. This allows the current function to already pre-compute pieces of information that can be computed on the reference cell, as discussed above. FEValues guarantees that this output object and the object returned by the current function will always be used together.
Returns
A pointer to an object of a type derived from InternalDataBase and that derived classes can use to store scratch data that can be pre- computed, or for scratch arrays that then only need to be allocated once. The calling site assumes ownership of this object and will delete it when it is no longer necessary.

The object will then be used in calls to implementations of FiniteElement::fill_fe_subface_values(). See the documentation of get_data() for more information.

The default implementation of this function converts the face quadrature into a cell quadrature with appropriate quadrature point locations, and with that calls the get_data() function above that has to be implemented in derived classes.

Parameters

This set of flags may also include information that the finite element can not compute, e.g., flags that pertain to data produced by the mapping. An implementation of this function needs to set up all data fields in the returned object that are necessary to produce the finite- element related data specified by these flags, and may already pre- compute part of this information as discussed above.

inherited

Return the number of degrees per structdim-dimensional object. For structdim==0, the function therefore returns dofs_per_vertex, for structdim==1 dofs_per_line, etc. This function is mostly used to allow some template trickery for functions that should work on all sorts of objects without wanting to use the different names (vertex, line, ...) associated with these objects.

Definition at line 651 of file fe.h.

◆ restriction

std::vector<std::vector<FullMatrix<double> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::restriction
protectedinherited

Vector of projection matrices. See get_restriction_matrix() above. The constructor initializes these matrices to zero dimensions, which can be changed by derived classes implementing them.

Note, that restriction[refinement_case-1][child] includes the restriction matrix of child child for the RefinementCase refinement_case. Here, we use refinement_case-1 instead of refinement_case as for RefinementCase::no_refinement(=0) there are no restriction matrices available.

◆ prolongation

std::vector<std::vector<FullMatrix<double> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::prolongation
protectedinherited

Vector of embedding matrices. See get_prolongation_matrix() above. The constructor initializes these matrices to zero dimensions, which can be changed by derived classes implementing them.

Note, that prolongation[refinement_case-1][child] includes the prolongation matrix of child child for the RefinementCase refinement_case. Here, we use refinement_case-1 instead of refinement_case as for RefinementCase::no_refinement(=0) there are no prolongation matrices available.

◆ interface_constraints

FullMatrix<double> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::interface_constraints
protectedinherited

Specify the constraints which the dofs on the two sides of a cell interface underlie if the line connects two cells of which one is refined once.

For further details see the general description of the derived class.

This field is obviously useless in one dimension and has there a zero size.

Definition at line 2430 of file fe.h.

◆ unit_support_points

std::vector<Point<dim> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_support_points
protectedinherited

List of support points on the unit cell, in case the finite element has any. The constructor leaves this field empty, derived classes may write in some contents.

Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, this field remains empty.

Definition at line 2442 of file fe.h.

◆ unit_face_support_points

std::vector<std::vector<Point<dim - 1> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_face_support_points

◆ adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation_table

std::vector<Table<2, int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation_table
protectedinherited

For faces with non-standard face_orientation in 3D, the dofs on faces (quads) have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a quad, return the shift in the local index, if the face has non-standard face_orientation, i.e. old_index + shift = new_index. In 2D and 1D there is no need for permutation so the vector is empty. In 3D it has the size of dofs_per_quad * 8 , where 8 is the number of orientations, a face can be in (all combinations of the three bool flags face_orientation, face_flip and face_rotation).

The constructor of this class fills this table with zeros, i.e., no permutation at all. Derived finite element classes have to fill this Table with the correct values.

Definition at line 2478 of file fe.h.

◆ adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation_table

std::vector<int> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation_table
protectedinherited

For lines with non-standard line_orientation in 3D, the dofs on lines have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a line, return the shift in the local index, if the line has non-standard line_orientation, i.e. old_index + shift = new_index. In 2D and 1D there is no need for permutation so the vector is empty. In 3D it has the size of dofs_per_line.

The constructor of this class fills this table with zeros, i.e., no permutation at all. Derived finite element classes have to fill this vector with the correct values.

Definition at line 2493 of file fe.h.

◆ system_to_component_table

std::vector<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_component_table
protectedinherited

Store what system_to_component_index() will return.

Definition at line 2498 of file fe.h.

◆ face_system_to_component_table

std::vector<std::vector<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_component_table
protectedinherited

Map between linear dofs and component dofs on face. This is filled with default values in the constructor, but derived classes will have to overwrite the information if necessary.

By component, we mean the vector component, not the base element. The information thus makes only sense if a shape function is non-zero in only one component.

Definition at line 2510 of file fe.h.

◆ system_to_base_table

std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_base_table
protectedinherited

For each shape function, store to which base element and which instance of this base element (in case its multiplicity is greater than one) it belongs, and its index within this base element. If the element is not composed of others, then base and instance are always zero, and the index is equal to the number of the shape function. If the element is composed of single instances of other elements (i.e. all with multiplicity one) all of which are scalar, then base values and dof indices within this element are equal to the system_to_component_table. It differs only in case the element is composed of other elements and at least one of them is vector-valued itself.

This array has valid values also in the case of vector-valued (i.e. non- primitive) shape functions, in contrast to the system_to_component_table.

Definition at line 2529 of file fe.h.

◆ face_system_to_base_table

std::vector< std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_base_table
protectedinherited

Likewise for the indices on faces.

Definition at line 2536 of file fe.h.

◆ base_to_block_indices

BlockIndices FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::base_to_block_indices
protectedinherited

For each base element, store the number of blocks generated by the base and the first block in a block vector it will generate.

Definition at line 2542 of file fe.h.

◆ component_to_base_table

std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_base_table
protectedinherited

The base element establishing a component.

For each component number c, the entries have the following meaning:

table[c].first.first
Number of the base element for c. This is the index you can pass to base_element().
table[c].first.second
Component within the base element for c. This value is between 0 and the n_components() of this base element.
table[c].second
Index of the multiple of the base element that contains c. This value is between 0 and the element_multiplicity() of this base element.

This variable is set to the correct size by the constructor of this class, but needs to be initialized by derived classes, unless its size is one and the only entry is a zero, which is the case for scalar elements. In that case, the initialization by the base class is sufficient.

Note
This table is filled by FETools::Compositing::build_cell_tables().

Definition at line 2565 of file fe.h.

◆ restriction_is_additive_flags

Definition at line 2572 of file fe.h.

◆ nonzero_components

const std::vector<ComponentMask> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::nonzero_components
protectedinherited

For each shape function, give a vector of bools (with size equal to the number of vector components which this finite element has) indicating in which component each of these shape functions is non-zero.

For primitive elements, there is only one non-zero component.

Definition at line 2581 of file fe.h.

◆ n_nonzero_components_table

const std::vector<unsigned int> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_nonzero_components_table
protectedinherited

This array holds how many values in the respective entry of the nonzero_components element are non-zero. The array is thus a short-cut to allow faster access to this information than if we had to count the non-zero entries upon each request for this information. The field is initialized in the constructor of this class.

Definition at line 2590 of file fe.h.

◆ cached_primitivity

const bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::cached_primitivity
