| Degrees | \(5\leqslant k\) where \(k\) is the Polynomial superdegree |
| Polynomial subdegree | \(k\) |
| Polynomial superdegree | \(k\) |
| Reference elements | triangle |
| Polynomial set | \(\mathcal{P}_{k}\) ↓ Show polynomial set definitions ↓ |
| DOFs | On each vertex: point evaluations, point evaluations of first derivatives, and point evaluations of second derivatives On each edge: normal derivative integral moments with an degree \(k-5\) Lagrange space, and integral moments with an degree \(k-6\) Lagrange space On each face: integral moments with an degree \(k-6\) Lagrange space |
| Number of DOFs | triangle: \(21+6(k-5)+(k-5)(k-4)/2\) |
| Mapping | identity |
| continuity | Function values and derivatives are continuous. |
| Categories | Scalar-valued elements |
