In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto v(0,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 10 x^{3} y - 10 x^{3} - 18 x^{2} y + 18 x^{2} + 10 x y^{3} - 18 x y^{2} + 17 x y - 9 x - 10 y^{3} + 18 y^{2} - 9 y + 1\)

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x \left(- 10 x^{2} y + 10 x^{2} + 12 x y - 12 x - 10 y^{3} + 18 y^{2} - 11 y + 3\right)\)

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = y \left(- 10 x^{3} + 18 x^{2} - 10 x y^{2} + 12 x y - 11 x + 10 y^{2} - 12 y + 3\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.

\(\displaystyle \phi_{6} = 12 y \left(- 5 x y^{2} + 8 x y - 3 x + 5 y^{2} - 8 y + 3\right)\)

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

and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{1}\).

\(\displaystyle \phi_{7} = 12 y \left(5 x y^{2} - 7 x y + 2 x - 5 y^{2} + 7 y - 2\right)\)

This DOF is associated with edge 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{8}:v\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{2}}(1 - s_{0})v\)
where \(e_{2}\) is the 2nd edge;
and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{2}\).

\(\displaystyle \phi_{8} = 12 x y \left(5 y^{2} - 8 y + 3\right)\)

This DOF is associated with edge 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{9}:v\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{2}}(s_{0})v\)
where \(e_{2}\) is the 2nd edge;
and \(s_{0},s_{1}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{2}\).

\(\displaystyle \phi_{9} = 12 x y \left(- 5 y^{2} + 7 y - 2\right)\)
