- \(R\) is the reference triangle. The following numbering of the subentities of the reference is used:
- \(\mathcal{V}\) is spanned by: \(1\), \(x\), \(x^{2}\), \(y\), \(x y\), \(y^{2}\)
- \(\mathcal{L}=\{l_0,...,l_{5}\}\)
- Functionals and basis functions:
\(\displaystyle l_{0}:v\mapsto\displaystyle\int_{e_{0}}(1 - s_{0})v\)
where \(e_{0}\) is the 0th edge;
and \(s_{0}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{0}\).
\(\displaystyle \phi_{0} = \sqrt{2} \cdot \left(4 x^{2} - 2 x y - x - 2 y^{2} + 2 y - \frac{1}{3}\right)\)
This DOF is associated with edge 0 of the reference element.
where \(e_{0}\) is the 0th edge;
and \(s_{0}\) is a parametrisation of \(e_{0}\).
