Degree 2 serendipity on a interval

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 3 x^{2} - 4 x + 1\)

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

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

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = 6 x \left(1 - x\right)\)

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