Degree 3 transition on a triangle

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

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

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{1} = x \left(9 x y + 9 y^{2} - 9 y + 1\right)\)

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{2} = y \left(9 x^{2} + 9 x y - 9 x + 1\right)\)

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

\(\displaystyle \phi_{3} = 27 x y \left(- x - y + 1\right)\)

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