Detailed Description

Polynomials for a variant of Hermite polynomials with better condition number in the interpolation than the basis from HermiteInterpolation.

In analogy to the proper Hermite polynomials, this basis evaluates the first polynomial \(p_0\) to 1 at \(x=0\) and has both a zero value and zero derivative at \(x=1\). Likewise, the last polynomial \(p_n\) evaluates to 1 at \(x=1\) with a zero value and zero derivative at \(x=0\). The second polynomial \(p_1\) and the second to last polynomial \(p_{n-1}\) represent the derivative degree of freedom at \(x=0\) and \(x=1\), respectively. They are zero at both the end points \(x=0, x=1\) and have zero derivative at the opposite end, \(p_1'(1)=0\) and \(p_{n-1}'(0)=0\). As opposed to the original Hermite polynomials, \(p_0\) does not have zero derivative at \(x=0\). The additional degree of freedom is used to make \(p_0\) and \(p_1\) orthogonal, which for \(n=3\) results in a root at \(x=\frac{2}{7}\) for \(p_0\) and at \(x=\frac{5}{7}\) for \(p_n\), respectively. Furthermore, the extension of these polynomials to higher degrees \(n>3\) is constructed by adding additional nodes inside the unit interval, again ensuring better conditioning. The nodes are computed as the roots of the Jacobi polynomials for \(\alpha=\beta=4\), which are orthogonal against the square of the generating function \(x^2(1-x)^2\) with the Hermite property. Then, these polynomials are constructed in the usual way as Lagrange polynomials with double roots at \(x=0\) and \(x=1\). For example with \(n=4\), all of \(p_0, p_1, p_3, p_4\) get an additional root at \(x=0.5\) through the factor \((x-0.5)\). In summary, this basis is dominated by nodal contributions, but it is not a nodal one because the second and second to last polynomials that are non-nodal, and due to the presence of double nodes in \(x=0\) and \(x=1\). The weights of the basis functions are set such that the sum of all polynomials with unit weight represents the constant function 1, similarly to Lagrange polynomials.

The basis only contains Hermite information for degree>=3, but it is also implemented for degrees between 0 and two. For the linear case, the usual hat functions are implemented, whereas the polynomials for degree=2 are \(p_0(x)=(1-x)^2\), \(p_1(x)=2x(x-1)\), and \(p_2(x)=x^2\), in accordance with the construction principle for degree 3.

These two relaxations improve the condition number of the mass matrix (i.e., interpolation) significantly, as can be seen from the following table:

	Condition number mass matrix
degree	HermiteInterpolation	HermiteLikeInterpolation
n=3	1057	17.18
n=4	6580	16.83
n=5	1.875e+04	15.99
n=6	6.033e+04	16.34
n=10	9.756e+05	20.70
n=15	9.431e+06	27.91
n=25	2.220e+08	43.54
n=35	2.109e+09	59.51

This polynomial inherits the advantageous property of Hermite polynomials where only two functions have value and/or derivative nonzero on a face advantageous for discontinuous Galerkin methods but gives better condition numbers of interpolation, which improves the performance of some iterative schemes like conjugate gradients with point-Jacobi. This polynomial is used in FE_DGQHermite.

static

Return the polynomials with index 0 up to degree+1 in a space of degree up to degree.

Definition at line 1405 of file polynomial.cc.

◆ value() [1/3]

double Polynomials::Polynomial< double >::value ( const double x ) const

inlineinherited

Return the value of this polynomial at the given point.

This function uses the most numerically stable evaluation algorithm for the provided form of the polynomial. If the polynomial is in the product form of roots, the evaluation is based on products of the form (x - x_i), whereas the Horner scheme is used for polynomials in the coefficient form.

Definition at line 108 of file polynomial.h.

◆ value() [2/3]

void Polynomials::Polynomial< double >::value	(	const double	x,
		std::vector< double > &	values
	)		const

inherited

Return the values and the derivatives of the Polynomial at point x. values[i], i=0,...,values.size()-1 includes the ith derivative. The number of derivatives to be computed is thus determined by the size of the array passed.

This function uses the Horner scheme for numerical stability of the evaluation for polynomials in the coefficient form or the product of terms involving the roots if that representation is used.

Definition at line 121 of file polynomial.cc.

◆ value() [3/3]

void Polynomials::Polynomial< double >::value	(	const Number2	x,
		const unsigned int	n_derivatives,
		Number2 *	values
	)		const

inlineinherited

Return the values and the derivatives of the Polynomial at point x. values[i], i=0,...,n_derivatives includes the ith derivative. The number of derivatives to be computed is determined by n_derivatives and values has to provide sufficient space for n_derivatives + 1 values.

This function uses the most numerically stable evaluation algorithm for the provided form of the polynomial. If the polynomial is in the product form of roots, the evaluation is based on products of the form (x - x_i), whereas the Horner scheme is used for polynomials in the coefficient form.

The template type Number2 must implement arithmetic operations such as additions or multiplication with the type number of the polynomial, and must be convertible from number by operator=.

		std::array< Number2, n_entries > *	values
	)		const

inlineinherited

Similar to the function above, but evaluate the polynomials on several positions at once, as described by the array argument points. This function is can be faster than the other function when the same polynomial should be evaluated on several positions at once, e.g., the x,y,z coordinates of a point for tensor-product polynomials.

Definition at line 161 of file polynomial.h.

The operation is performed in place.

Definition at line 181 of file polynomial.cc.

◆ scale() [2/2]

	)

staticprotectedinherited

This function performs the actual scaling.

Definition at line 271 of file polynomial.cc.

◆ shift() [1/2]

void Polynomials::Polynomial< double >::shift ( const number2 offset )

inherited

Shift the abscissa oft the polynomial. Given the polynomial p(t) and the shift t = x + a, then the result of this operation is the polynomial q, such that q(x) = p(t).

The template parameter allows to compute the new coefficients with higher accuracy, since all computations are performed with type number2. This may be necessary, since this operation involves a big number of additions. On a Sun Sparc Ultra with Solaris 2.8, the difference between double and long double was not significant, though.

The operation is performed in place, i.e. the coefficients of the present object are changed.

Member Data Documentation

protectedinherited

Coefficients of the polynomial \(\sum_i a_i x^i\). This vector is filled by the constructor of this class and may be passed down by derived classes.

Stores whether the polynomial is in Lagrange product form, i.e., constructed as a product \((x-x_0) (x-x_1) \ldots (x-x_n)/c\), or not.

The creator (and owner) of an object is counted in the map below if HE manages to supply identification.

We use the mutable keyword in order to allow subscription to constant objects also.

This counter may be read from and written to concurrently in multithreaded code: hence we use the std::atomic class template.

Definition at line 219 of file subscriptor.h.

◆ counter_map

std::map<std::string, unsigned int> Subscriptor::counter_map
