Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim>
class internal::MappingQImplementation::InverseQuadraticApproximation< dim, spacedim >

A class to compute a quadratic approximation to the inverse map from real to unit points by a least-squares fit along the mapping support points. The least squares fit is special in the sense that the approximation is constructed for the inverse function of a MappingQ, which is generally a rational function. This allows for a very cheap evaluation of the inverse map by a simple polynomial interpolation, which can be used as a better initial guess for transforming points from real to unit coordinates than an affine approximation.

Far away outside the unit cell, this approximation can become inaccurate for non-affine cell shapes. This must be expected from a fit of a polynomial to a rational function, and due to the fact that the region of the least squares fit, the unit cell, is left. Hence, use this function with care in those situations.

Constructor.

Parameters

real_support_points	The position of the mapping support points in real space, queried by MappingQ::compute_mapping_support_points().
unit_support_points	The location of the support points in reference coordinates \([0, 1]^d\) that map to the mapping support points in real space by a polynomial map.

normalization_shift

template<int dim, int spacedim>

const Point<spacedim> internal::MappingQImplementation::InverseQuadraticApproximation< dim, spacedim >::normalization_shift

private

In order to guarantee a good conditioning, we need to apply a transformation to the points in real space that is computed by a shift vector normalization_shift (first point of the mapping support points in real space) and an inverse length scale called length_normalization as the distance between the first two points.

is_affine

template<int dim, int spacedim>

bool internal::MappingQImplementation::InverseQuadraticApproximation< dim, spacedim >::is_affine

private

In case the quadratic approximation is not possible due to an insufficient number of support points, we switch to an affine approximation that always works but is less accurate.
