Degree 1 Morley–Wang–Xu on a triangle

◀ Back to Morley–Wang–Xu definition page
In this example:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:\mathbf{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{0}}(\tfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2})v\)
where \(e_{0}\) is the 0th edge.

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

This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
\(\displaystyle l_{1}:\mathbf{v}\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{1}}v\)
where \(e_{1}\) is the 1st edge.

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

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = 1 - 2 y\)

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