Degree 2 Lagrange on a interval

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

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

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

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

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{2}:\mathbf{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{R}(\sqrt{3} \cdot \left(60 s_{0}^{2} - 60 s_{0} + 10\right))v\)
where \(R\) is the reference element;
and \(s_{0}\) is a parametrisation of \(R\).

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

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