Degree 1 Rannacher–Turek on a quadrilateral

◀ Back to Rannacher–Turek definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(\tfrac{1}{2},0)\)

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

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

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

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = x^{2} - y^{2} + y - \frac{1}{4}\)

This DOF is associated with edge 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:v\mapsto v(\tfrac{1}{2},1)\)

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

This DOF is associated with edge 3 of the reference element.
