Degree 1 Gauss–Legendre on a interval

◀ Back to Gauss–Legendre definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:\mathbf{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{R}v\)
where \(R\) is the reference element.

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 1\)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:\mathbf{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{R}(\sqrt{3} \cdot \left(2 s_{0} - 1\right))v\)
where \(R\) is the reference element;
and \(s_{0}\) is a parametrisation of \(R\).

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = \sqrt{3} \cdot \left(2 x - 1\right)\)

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
