Degree 3 Hermite on a interval

◀ Back to Hermite definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 2 x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 1\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:v\mapsto v'(0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x \left(x^{2} - 2 x + 1\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:v\mapsto v(1)\)

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

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:v\mapsto v'(1)\)

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

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
