Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class PolynomialsBDM< dim >

This class implements the Hdiv-conforming, vector-valued Brezzi-Douglas-Marini ( BDM ) polynomials described in Brezzi and Fortin's Mixed and Hybrid Finite Element Methods (refer to pages 119 - 124).

The BDM polynomial space contain the entire \((P_{k})^{n}\) space (constructed with PolynomialSpace Legendre polynomials) as well as part of \((P_{k+1})^{n}\) (ie. \((P_{k})^{n} \subset BDM_{k} \subset (P_{k+1})^{n}\)). Furthermore, \(BDM_{k}\) elements are designed so that \(\nabla \cdot q \in P_{k-1} (K)\) and \(q \cdot n |_{e_{i}} \in P_{k}(e_{i})\). More details of two and three dimensional \(BDM_{k}\) elements are given below.

In 2d:

\( BDM_{k} = \{\mathbf{q} | \mathbf{q} = p_{k} (x,y) + r \; \text{curl} (x^{k+1}y) + s \; \text{curl} (xy^{k+1}), p_{k} \in (P_{k})^{2} \}\).

Note: the curl of a scalar function is given by \(\text{curl}(f(x,y)) = \begin{pmatrix} f_{y}(x,y) \\ -f_{x}(x,y) \end{pmatrix}\).

The basis used to construct the \(BDM_{1}\) shape functions is

\begin{align*} \phi_0 = \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \phi_1 = \begin{pmatrix} -\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}x \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \phi_2 = \begin{pmatrix} -\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}y \\ 0 \end{pmatrix}, \phi_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix}, \phi_4 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}x \end{pmatrix}, \phi_5 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ -\sqrt{3}+2\sqrt{3}y \end{pmatrix}, \phi_6 = \begin{pmatrix} x^2 \\ -2xy \end{pmatrix}, \phi_7 = \begin{pmatrix} 2xy \\ -y^2 \end{pmatrix}. \end{align*}

The dimension of the \(BDM_{k}\) space is \((k+1)(k+2)+2\), with \(k+1\) unknowns per edge and \(k(k-1)\) interior unknowns.

In 3d:

\( BDM_{k} = \{\mathbf{q} | \mathbf{q} = p_{k} (x,y,z) + \sum_{i=0}^{k} ( r_{i} \; \text{curl} \begin{pmatrix} 0\\0\\xy^{i+1}z^{k-i} \end{pmatrix} + s_{i} \; \text{curl} \begin{pmatrix} yz^{i+1}x^{k-i}\\0\\0 \end{pmatrix} + t_{i} \; \text{curl} \begin{pmatrix}0\\zx^{i+1}y^{k-i}\\0\end{pmatrix}) , p_{k} \in (P_{k})^{3} \}\).

Note: the 3d description of \(BDM_{k}\) is not unique. See Mixed and Hybrid Finite Element Methods page 122 for an alternative definition.

The dimension of the \(BDM_{k}\) space is \(\dfrac{(k+1)(k+2)(k+3)}{2}+3(k+1)\), with \(\dfrac{(k+1)(k+2)}{2}\) unknowns per face and \(\dfrac{(k-1)k(k+1)}{2}\) interior unknowns.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PolynomialsBDM()

template<int dim>
PolynomialsBDM< dim >::PolynomialsBDM ( const unsigned int  k)

Constructor. Creates all basis functions for BDM polynomials of given degree.

  • k: the degree of the BDM-space, which is the degree of the largest complete polynomial space Pk contained in the BDM- space.

Definition at line 30 of file polynomials_bdm.cc.

Member Function Documentation

◆ evaluate()

template<int dim>
void PolynomialsBDM< dim >::evaluate ( const Point< dim > &  unit_point,
std::vector< Tensor< 1, dim > > &  values,
std::vector< Tensor< 2, dim > > &  grads,
std::vector< Tensor< 3, dim > > &  grad_grads,
std::vector< Tensor< 4, dim > > &  third_derivatives,
std::vector< Tensor< 5, dim > > &  fourth_derivatives 
) const
overridevirtual

Compute the value and the first and second derivatives of each BDM polynomial at unit_point.

The size of the vectors must either be zero or equal n(). In the first case, the function will not compute these values.

If you need values or derivatives of all tensor product polynomials then use this function, rather than using any of the compute_value, compute_grad or compute_grad_grad functions, see below, in a loop over all tensor product polynomials.

Implements TensorPolynomialsBase< dim >.

Definition at line 56 of file polynomials_bdm.cc.

◆ name()

template<int dim>
std::string PolynomialsBDM< dim >::name
inlineoverridevirtual

Return the name of the space, which is BDM.

Implements TensorPolynomialsBase< dim >.

Definition at line 199 of file polynomials_bdm.h.

◆ n_polynomials()

template<int dim>
unsigned int PolynomialsBDM< dim >::n_polynomials ( const unsigned int  degree)
static

Return the number of polynomials in the space BDM(degree) without requiring to build an object of PolynomialsBDM. This is required by the FiniteElement classes.

Definition at line 363 of file polynomials_bdm.cc.

◆ clone()

template<int dim>
std::unique_ptr< TensorPolynomialsBase< dim > > PolynomialsBDM< dim >::clone
overridevirtual

A sort of virtual copy constructor, this function returns a copy of the polynomial space object. Derived classes need to override the function here in this base class and return an object of the same type as the derived class.

Some places in the library, for example the constructors of FE_PolyTensor, need to make copies of polynomial spaces without knowing their exact type. They do so through this function.

Implements TensorPolynomialsBase< dim >.

Definition at line 378 of file polynomials_bdm.cc.

◆ n()

template<int dim>
unsigned int TensorPolynomialsBase< dim >::n
inlineinherited

Return the number of polynomials.

Definition at line 157 of file tensor_polynomials_base.h.

◆ degree()

template<int dim>
unsigned int TensorPolynomialsBase< dim >::degree
inlineinherited

Return the highest polynomial degree of polynomials represented by this class. A derived class may override this if its value is different from my_degree.

Definition at line 166 of file tensor_polynomials_base.h.
