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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = 2 x^{3} + 13 x^{2} y - 3 x^{2} + 13 x y^{2} - 13 x y + 2 y^{3} - 3 y^{2} + 1\)

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

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

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

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

This DOF is associated with vertex 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{3}:v\mapsto v(1,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{3} = x \left(- 2 x^{2} + 7 x y + 3 x + 7 y^{2} - 7 y\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{4}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial x}v(1,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{4} = x \left(x^{2} - 2 x y - x - 2 y^{2} + 2 y\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{5}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial y}v(1,0)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{5} = x y \left(2 x + y - 1\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 1 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{6}:v\mapsto v(0,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{6} = y \left(7 x^{2} + 7 x y - 7 x - 2 y^{2} + 3 y\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{7}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial x}v(0,1)\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{7} = x y \left(x + 2 y - 1\right)\)

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{8}:v\mapsto\frac{\partial}{\partial y}v(0,1)\)

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

This DOF is associated with vertex 2 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{9}:v\mapsto v(\tfrac{1}{3},\tfrac{1}{3})\)

\(\displaystyle \phi_{9} = 27 x y \left(- x - y + 1\right)\)

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