DOFsOn each facet: normal integral moments with an order \(k-1\) Lagrange space, and tangent integral moments with an order \(k-2\) Lagrange space
On the interior of the reference element: integral moments with \(\left\{\left(\begin{array}{c}x^iy^j\\0\end{array}\right)\middle|i\in\{0,1,...,k-1\}, j\in\{0,1,...,k-2\}\right\}\cup\left\{\left(\begin{array}{c}x^iy^j\\0\end{array}\right)\middle|i\in\{0,1,...,k-2\}, j\in\{0,1,...,k-1\}\right\}\)
Number of DOFsquadrilateral: \(2k(k+1)\) (A046092)
Mappingcontravariant Piola
continuityComponents normal to facets are continuous
CategoriesVector-valued elements, H(div) conforming elements
