Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class FE_Q_iso_Q1< dim, spacedim >

Implementation of a scalar Lagrange finite element Qp-iso-Q1 that defines the finite element space of continuous, piecewise linear elements with p subdivisions in each coordinate direction. It yields an element with the same number of degrees of freedom as the Qp elements but using linear interpolation instead of higher order one. In other words, on every cell, the shape functions are not of higher order polynomial degree interpolating a set of node points, but are piecewise (bi-, tri-)linear within the cell and interpolating the same set of node points. This type of element is also called macro element in the literature as it can be seen as consisting of several smaller elements, namely pdim such sub-cells.

The numbering of degrees of freedom is done in exactly the same way as in FE_Q of degree p. See there for a detailed description on how degrees of freedom are numbered within one element.

This element represents a Q-linear finite element space on a reduced mesh of size h/p. Its effect is equivalent to using FE_Q of degree one on a finer mesh by a factor p if an equivalent quadrature is used. However, this element reduces the flexibility in the choice of (adaptive) mesh size by exactly this factor p, which typically reduces efficiency. On the other hand, comparing this element with p subdivisions to the FE_Q element of degree p on the same mesh shows that the convergence is typically much worse for smooth problems. In particular, Qp elements achieve interpolation orders of hp+1 in the \(L_2\) norm, whereas these elements reach only (h/p)2. For these two reasons, this element is usually not very useful as a standalone. In addition, any evaluation of face terms on the boundaries within the elements becomes impossible with this element because deal.II does not have the equivalent of FEFaceValues for lower-dimensional integrals in the interior of cells.

Nonetheless, there are a few use cases where this element actually is useful:

  1. Systems of PDEs where certain variables demand for higher resolutions than the others and the additional degrees of freedom should be spent on increasing the resolution of linears instead of higher order polynomials, and you do not want to use two different meshes for the different components. This can be the case when irregularities (shocks) appear in the solution and stabilization techniques are used that work for linears but not higher order elements.

  2. Stokes/Navier Stokes systems such as the one discussed in step-22 could be solved with Q2-iso-Q1 elements for velocities instead of \(Q_2\) elements. Combined with \(Q_1\) pressures they give a stable mixed element pair. However, they perform worse than the standard (Taylor-Hood \(Q_2\times Q_1\)) approach in most situations. (See, for example, [35] .) This combination of subdivided elements for the velocity and non-subdivided elements for the pressure is sometimes called the "Bercovier-Pironneau element" and dates back to around the same time as the Taylor-Hood element (namely, the mid-1970s). For more information, see the paper by Bercovier and Pironneau from 1979 [27], and for the origins of the comparable Taylor-Hood element see [202] from 1973.

  3. Preconditioning systems of FE_Q systems of higher order p with a preconditioner based on Qp-iso-Q1 elements: Some preconditioners like algebraic multigrid perform much better with linear elements than with higher order elements because they often implicitly assume a sparse connectivity between entries. Then, creating a preconditioner matrix based on these elements yields the same number of degrees of freedom (and a spectrally equivalent linear system), which can be combined with a (high order) system matrix in an iterative solver like CG.

Appropriate integration

Due to the nature of these elements as a concatenation of linears, care must be taken when selecting quadrature formulas for this element. The standard choice for an element of p subelements is a formula QIterated<dim>(QGauss<1>(2), p), which corresponds to the formula that would be used for integrating functions on a finer mesh. This is in contrast with FE_Q(p) where QGauss<dim>(p+1) is the default choice. In particular, care must be taken to not use a quadrature formula that evaluates the basis functions (and their derivatives) on sub-element boundaries as the gradients of piecewise functions on internal boundaries are set to zero. No checks are performed internally to ensure that this is not the case - it is the user's responsibility to avoid these situations.

Also note that the usual deal.II routines for setting up sparsity patterns and assembling matrices do not make use of the increased sparsity in this element compared to FE_Q. This is because DoFTools::make_sparsity_pattern assumes coupling between all degrees of freedom within the element, whereas FE_Q_iso_Q1 with more than one subdivision does have less coupling.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Conformity

template<int dim>
enum FiniteElementData::Conformity
inherited

Enumerator for the different types of continuity a finite element may have. Continuity is measured by the Sobolev space containing the constructed finite element space and is also called this way.

Note that certain continuities may imply others. For instance, a function in H1 is in Hcurl and Hdiv as well.

If you are interested in continuity in the classical sense, then the following relations hold:

  1. H1 implies that the function is continuous over cell boundaries.

  2. H2 implies that the function is continuously differentiable over cell boundaries.

  3. L2 indicates that the element is discontinuous. Since discontinuous elements have no topological couplings between grid cells and code may actually depend on this property, L2 conformity is handled in a special way in the sense that it is not implied by any higher conformity.

In order to test if a finite element conforms to a certain space, use FiniteElementData<dim>::conforms().

overridevirtual

A sort of virtual copy constructor, this function returns a copy of the finite element 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 FESystem as well as the hp::FECollection class, need to make copies of finite elements without knowing their exact type. They do so through this function.

Implementation of the corresponding function in the FiniteElement class. Since the current element is interpolatory, the nodal values are exactly the support point values. Furthermore, since the current element is scalar, the support point values need to be vectors of length 1.

const unsigned int  codim = 0 
) const
finaloverridevirtual

Return whether this element dominates another one given as argument fe_other, whether it is the other way around, whether neither dominates, or if either could dominate. The codim parameter describes the codimension of the investigated subspace and specifies that it is subject to this comparison. For example, if codim==0 then this function compares which element dominates at the cell level. If codim==1, then the elements are compared at faces, i.e., the comparison happens between the function spaces of the two finite elements as restricted to a face. Larger values of codim work correspondingly.

) const
overridevirtualinherited

Projection from a fine grid space onto a coarse grid space. Overrides the respective method in FiniteElement, implementing lazy evaluation (initialize when requested).

If this projection operator is associated with a matrix P, then the restriction of this matrix P_i to a single child cell is returned here.

The matrix P is the concatenation or the sum of the cell matrices P_i, depending on the restriction_is_additive_flags. This distinguishes interpolation (concatenation) and projection with respect to scalar products (summation).

Row and column indices are related to coarse grid and fine grid spaces, respectively, consistent with the definition of the associated operator.

If projection matrices are not implemented in the derived finite element class, this function aborts with ExcProjectionVoid. You can check whether this is the case by calling the restriction_is_implemented() or the isotropic_restriction_is_implemented() function.

const RefinementCase< dim > &  refinement_case = RefinementCase< dim >::isotropic_refinement 
) const
overridevirtualinherited

Embedding matrix between grids. Overrides the respective method in FiniteElement, implementing lazy evaluation (initialize when queried).

The identity operator from a coarse grid space into a fine grid space is associated with a matrix P. The restriction of this matrix P_i to a single child cell is returned here.

The matrix P is the concatenation, not the sum of the cell matrices P_i. That is, if the same non-zero entry j,k exists in two different child matrices P_i, the value should be the same in both matrices and it is copied into the matrix P only once.

Row and column indices are related to fine grid and coarse grid spaces, respectively, consistent with the definition of the associated operator.

These matrices are used by routines assembling the prolongation matrix for multi-level methods. Upon assembling the transfer matrix between cells using this matrix array, zero elements in the prolongation matrix are discarded and will not fill up the transfer matrix.

If projection matrices are not implemented in the derived finite element class, this function aborts with ExcEmbeddingVoid. You can check whether this is the case by calling the prolongation_is_implemented() or the isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented() function.

◆ face_to_cell_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
virtual unsigned int FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::face_to_cell_index ( const unsigned int  face_dof_index,
const unsigned int  face,
const unsigned char  combined_orientation = ReferenceCell::default_combined_face_orientation() 
) const
overridevirtualinherited

Given an index in the natural ordering of indices on a face, return the index of the same degree of freedom on the cell.

To explain the concept, consider the case where we would like to know whether a degree of freedom on a face, for example as part of an FESystem element, is primitive. Unfortunately, the is_primitive() function in the FiniteElement class takes a cell index, so we would need to find the cell index of the shape function that corresponds to the present face index. This function does that.

Code implementing this would then look like this:

for (i=0; i<dofs_per_face; ++i)
if (fe.is_primitive(fe.face_to_cell_index(i, some_face_no)))
... do whatever
const unsigned int dofs_per_face
Definition fe_data.h:422

The function takes additional arguments that account for the fact that actual faces can be in their standard ordering with respect to the cell under consideration, or can be flipped, oriented, etc.

Parameters
face_dof_indexThe index of the degree of freedom on a face. This index must be between zero and dofs_per_face.
faceThe number of the face this degree of freedom lives on. This number must be between zero and GeometryInfo::faces_per_cell.
combined_orientationThe combined orientation flag containing the orientation, rotation, and flip of the face. See GlossFaceOrientation.
Returns
The index of this degree of freedom within the set of degrees of freedom on the entire cell. The returned value will be between zero and dofs_per_cell.

For the FE_Q class the result is always true (independent of the degree of the element), as it implements the complete set of functions necessary for hp-capability.

◆ hp_vertex_dof_identities()

virtual std::vector< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > > FE_Q_Base< dim, spacedim >::hp_vertex_dof_identities ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe_other) const
overridevirtualinherited

If, on a vertex, several finite elements are active, the hp-code first assigns the degrees of freedom of each of these FEs different global indices. It then calls this function to find out which of them should get identical values, and consequently can receive the same global DoF index. This function therefore returns a list of identities between DoFs of the present finite element object with the DoFs of fe_other, which is a reference to a finite element object representing one of the other finite elements active on this particular vertex. The function computes which of the degrees of freedom of the two finite element objects are equivalent, both numbered between zero and the corresponding value of n_dofs_per_vertex() of the two finite elements. The first index of each pair denotes one of the vertex dofs of the present element, whereas the second is the corresponding index of the other finite element.

◆ requires_update_flags()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
virtual UpdateFlags FE_Poly< dim, spacedim >::requires_update_flags ( const UpdateFlags  update_flags) const
overridevirtualinherited

Given a set of update flags, compute which other quantities also need to be computed in order to satisfy the request by the given flags. Then return the combination of the original set of flags and those just computed.

As an example, if update_flags contains update_gradients a finite element class will typically require the computation of the inverse of the Jacobian matrix in order to rotate the gradient of shape functions on the reference cell to the real cell. It would then return not just update_gradients, but also update_covariant_transformation, the flag that makes the mapping class produce the inverse of the Jacobian matrix.

An extensive discussion of the interaction between this function and FEValues can be found in the How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together documentation topic.

::internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData< dim, spacedim > &  output_data 
) const
inlineoverrideprotectedvirtualinherited

Create an internal data object and return a pointer to it of which the caller of this function then assumes ownership. This object will then be passed to the FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() every time the finite element shape functions and their derivatives are evaluated on a concrete cell. The object created here is therefore used by derived classes as a place for scratch objects that are used in evaluating shape functions, as well as to store information that can be pre-computed once and re-used on every cell (e.g., for evaluating the values and gradients of shape functions on the reference cell, for later re-use when transforming these values to a concrete cell).

This function is the first one called in the process of initializing a FEValues object for a given mapping and finite element object. The returned object will later be passed to FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() for a concrete cell, which will itself place its output into an object of type internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData. Since there may be data that can already be computed in its final form on the reference cell, this function also receives a reference to the internal::FEValuesImplementation::FiniteElementRelatedData object as its last argument. This output argument is guaranteed to always be the same one when used with the InternalDataBase object returned by this function. In other words, the subdivision of scratch data and final data in the returned object and the output_data object is as follows: If data can be pre-computed on the reference cell in the exact form in which it will later be needed on a concrete cell, then this function should already emplace it in the output_data object. An example are the values of shape functions at quadrature points for the usual Lagrange elements which on a concrete cell are identical to the ones on the reference cell. On the other hand, if some data can be pre-computed to make computations on a concrete cell cheaper, then it should be put into the returned object for later re-use in a derive class's implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_values(). An example are the gradients of shape functions on the reference cell for Lagrange elements: to compute the gradients of the shape functions on a concrete cell, one has to multiply the gradients on the reference cell by the inverse of the Jacobian of the mapping; consequently, we cannot already compute the gradients on a concrete cell at the time the current function is called, but we can at least pre-compute the gradients on the reference cell, and store it in the object returned.

An extensive discussion of the interaction between this function and FEValues can be found in the How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together documentation topic. See also the documentation of the InternalDataBase class.

Parameters
[in]update_flagsA set of UpdateFlags values that describe what kind of information the FEValues object requests the finite element to compute. This set of flags may also include information that the finite element can not compute, e.g., flags that pertain to data produced by the mapping. An implementation of this function needs to set up all data fields in the returned object that are necessary to produce the finite-element related data specified by these flags, and may already pre-compute part of this information as discussed above. Elements may want to store these update flags (or a subset of these flags) in InternalDataBase::update_each so they know at the time when FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() is called what they are supposed to compute
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping used for computing values and derivatives of shape functions.
[in]quadratureA reference to the object that describes where the shape functions should be evaluated.
[out]output_dataA reference to the object that FEValues will use in conjunction with the object returned here and where an implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_values() will place the requested information. This allows the current function to already pre-compute pieces of information that can be computed on the reference cell, as discussed above. FEValues guarantees that this output object and the object returned by the current function will always be used together.
Returns
A pointer to an object of a type derived from InternalDataBase and that derived classes can use to store scratch data that can be pre-computed, or for scratch arrays that then only need to be allocated once. The calling site assumes ownership of this object and will delete it when it is no longer necessary.

Compute information about the shape functions on the cell denoted by the first argument. Derived classes will have to implement this function based on the kind of element they represent. It is called by FEValues::reinit().

Conceptually, this function evaluates shape functions and their derivatives at the quadrature points represented by the mapped locations of those described by the quadrature argument to this function. In many cases, computing derivatives of shape functions (and in some cases also computing values of shape functions) requires making use of the mapping from the reference to the real cell; this information can either be taken from the mapping_data object that has been filled for the current cell before this function is called, or by calling the member functions of a Mapping object with the mapping_internal object that also corresponds to the current cell.

The information computed by this function is used to fill the various member variables of the output argument of this function. Which of the member variables of that structure should be filled is determined by the update flags stored in the FiniteElement::InternalDataBase::update_each field of the object passed to this function. These flags are typically set by FiniteElement::get_data(), FiniteElement::get_face_date() and FiniteElement::get_subface_data() (or, more specifically, implementations of these functions in derived classes).

An extensive discussion of the interaction between this function and FEValues can be found in the How Mapping, FiniteElement, and FEValues work together documentation topic.

Parameters
[in]cellThe cell of the triangulation for which this function is to compute a mapping from the reference cell to.
[in]cell_similarityWhether or not the cell given as first argument is simply a translation, rotation, etc of the cell for which this function was called the most recent time. This information is computed simply by matching the vertices (as stored by the Triangulation) between the previous and the current cell. The value passed here may be modified by implementations of this function and should then be returned (see the discussion of the return value of this function).
[in]quadratureA reference to the quadrature formula in use for the current evaluation. This quadrature object is the same as the one used when creating the internal_data object. The current object is then responsible for evaluating shape functions at the mapped locations of the quadrature points represented by this object.
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping object used to map from the reference cell to the current cell. This object was used to compute the information in the mapping_data object before the current function was called. It is also the mapping object that created the mapping_internal object via Mapping::get_data(). You will need the reference to this mapping object most often to call Mapping::transform() to transform gradients and higher derivatives from the reference to the current cell.
[in]mapping_internalAn object specific to the mapping object. What the mapping chooses to store in there is of no relevance to the current function, but you may have to pass a reference to this object to certain functions of the Mapping class (e.g., Mapping::transform()) if you need to call them from the current function.
[in]mapping_dataThe output object into which the Mapping::fill_fe_values() function wrote the mapping information corresponding to the current cell. This includes, for example, Jacobians of the mapping that may be of relevance to the current function, as well as other information that FEValues::reinit() requested from the mapping.
[in]fe_internalA reference to an object previously created by get_data() and that may be used to store information the mapping can compute once on the reference cell. See the documentation of the FiniteElement::InternalDataBase class for an extensive description of the purpose of these objects.
[out]output_dataA reference to an object whose member variables should be computed. Not all of the members of this argument need to be filled; which ones need to be filled is determined by the update flags stored inside the fe_internal object.
Note
FEValues ensures that this function is always called with the same pair of fe_internal and output_data objects. In other words, if an implementation of this function knows that it has written a piece of data into the output argument in a previous call, then there is no need to copy it there again in a later call if the implementation knows that this is the same value.

Correct the shape Hessians by subtracting the terms corresponding to the Jacobian pushed forward gradient.

Before the correction, the Hessians would be given by

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< std::unique_ptr< FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator^ ( const unsigned int  multiplicity) const
inherited

Creates information for creating a FESystem with this class as base element and with multiplicity multiplicity. In particular, the return type of this function can be used in the constructor for a FESystem object. This function calls clone() and hence creates a copy of the current object.

◆ prolongation_is_implemented()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::prolongation_is_implemented ( ) const
inherited

Return whether this element implements its prolongation matrices. The return value also indicates whether a call to the get_prolongation_matrix() function will generate an error or not.

Note, that this function returns true only if the prolongation matrices of the isotropic and all anisotropic refinement cases are implemented. If you are interested in the prolongation matrices for isotropic refinement only, use the isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented function instead.

This function is mostly here in order to allow us to write more efficient test programs which we run on all kinds of weird elements, and for which we simply need to exclude certain tests in case something is not implemented. It will in general probably not be a great help in applications, since there is not much one can do if one needs these features and they are not implemented. This function could be used to check whether a call to get_prolongation_matrix() will succeed; however, one then still needs to cope with the lack of information this just expresses.

◆ isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::isotropic_prolongation_is_implemented ( ) const

Note, that this function returns true only if the restriction matrices of the isotropic and all anisotropic refinement cases are implemented. If you are interested in the restriction matrices for isotropic refinement only, use the isotropic_restriction_is_implemented() function instead.

◆ restriction_is_additive()

bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::restriction_is_additive ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Access the restriction_is_additive_flags field. See the discussion about restriction matrices in the general class documentation for more information.

The index must be between zero and the number of shape functions of this element.

◆ constraints()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const FullMatrix< double > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::constraints ( const ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim > &  subface_case = ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim >::case_isotropic) const
inherited

Return a read only reference to the matrix that describes the constraints at the interface between a refined and an unrefined cell.

Some finite elements do not (yet) implement hanging node constraints. If this is the case, then this function will generate an exception, since no useful return value can be generated. If you should have a way to live with this, then you might want to use the constraints_are_implemented() function to check up front whether this function will succeed or generate the exception.

◆ constraints_are_implemented()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::constraints_are_implemented ( const ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim > &  subface_case = ::internal::SubfaceCase< dim >::case_isotropic) const

◆ operator==() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
virtual bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator== ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe) const
virtualinherited

Comparison operator.

The implementation in the current class checks for equality of the following pieces of information between the current object and the one given as argument, in this order:

  • the dynamic type (i.e., the type of the most derived class) of the current object and of the given object,
  • the name returned by get_name(),
  • as all of the fields in FiniteElementData,
  • constraint matrices.

This covers most cases where elements can differ, but there are cases of derived elements that are different and for which the current function still returns true. For these cases, derived classes should overload this function.

Note
This operator specifically does not check the following member variables of the current class:
  • restriction matrices,
  • prolongation matrices of this object and the argument. This is because these member variables may be initialized only on demand by derived classes, rather than being available immediately. Consequently, comparing these members would not only be costly because these are generally big arrays, but also because their computation may be expensive. On the other hand, derived classes for which these arrays may differ for two objects even though the above list compares as equal, will probably want to implement their own operator==() anyway.

◆ operator==() [2/2]

template<int dim>
bool FiniteElementData< dim >::operator== ( const FiniteElementData< dim > &  f) const

Comparison operator.

◆ operator!=()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::operator!= ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  ) const
inherited

Non-equality comparison operator. Defined in terms of the equality comparison operator.

◆ system_to_component_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_component_index ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Compute vector component and index of this shape function within the shape functions corresponding to this component from the index of a shape function within this finite element.

If the element is scalar, then the component is always zero, and the index within this component is equal to the overall index.

If the shape function referenced has more than one non-zero component, then it cannot be associated with one vector component, and an exception of type ExcShapeFunctionNotPrimitive will be raised.

Note that if the element is composed of other (base) elements, and a base element has more than one component but all its shape functions are primitive (i.e. are non-zero in only one component), then this mapping contains valid information. However, the index of a shape function of this element within one component (i.e. the second number of the respective entry of this array) does not indicate the index of the respective shape function within the base element (since that has more than one vector-component). For this information, refer to the system_to_base_table field and the system_to_base_index() function.

See the class description above for an example of how this function is typically used.

The use of this function is explained extensively in the step-8 and step-20 tutorial programs as well as in the Handling vector valued problems topic.

◆ component_to_system_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_system_index ( const unsigned int  component,
const unsigned int  index 
) const
inherited

Compute the shape function for the given vector component and index.

If the element is scalar, then the component must be zero, and the index within this component is equal to the overall index.

This is the opposite operation from the system_to_component_index() function.

◆ face_system_to_component_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_component_index ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0 
) const
inherited

Same as system_to_component_index(), but do it for shape functions and their indices on a face. The range of allowed indices is therefore 0..dofs_per_face.

You will rarely need this function in application programs, since almost all application codes only need to deal with cell indices, not face indices. The function is mainly there for use inside the library.

◆ adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no,
const unsigned char  combined_orientation 
) const
inherited

Given a local dof index on a quad, return the local index accounting for the face orientation combined_orientation. This is only necessary in 3d: consequently, if this function is called in 1d or 2d then an exception is thrown.

◆ adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned char  combined_orientation 
) const
inherited

Given a local dof index on a line and the orientation combined_orientation of that line, return the local dof which accounts for combined_orientation.

Note
In both 1d and 2d all-quadrilateral meshes all lines have the standard orientation. However, since 2d meshes may contain both quadrilaterals and triangles, this assumption cannot be made in this class.

◆ get_nonzero_components()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const ComponentMask & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_nonzero_components ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return in which of the vector components of this finite element the ith shape function is non-zero. The length of the returned array is equal to the number of vector components of this element.

For most finite element spaces, the result of this function will be a vector with exactly one element being true, since for most spaces the individual vector components are independent. In that case, the component with the single zero is also the first element of what system_to_component_index() returns.

Only for those spaces that couple the components, for example to make a shape function divergence free, will there be more than one true entry. Elements for which this is true are called non-primitive (see GlossPrimitive).

◆ n_nonzero_components()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_nonzero_components ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return in how many vector components the ith shape function is non-zero. This value equals the number of entries equal to true in the result of the get_nonzero_components() function.

For most finite element spaces, the result will be equal to one. It is not equal to one only for those ansatz spaces for which vector-valued shape functions couple the individual components, for example in order to make them divergence-free.

◆ is_primitive() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::is_primitive ( ) const
inherited

Return whether the entire finite element is primitive, in the sense that all its shape functions are primitive. If the finite element is scalar, then this is always the case.

Since this is an extremely common operation, the result is cached and returned by this function.

◆ is_primitive() [2/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::is_primitive ( const unsigned int  i) const
inherited

Return whether the ith shape function is primitive in the sense that the shape function is non-zero in only one vector component. Non-primitive shape functions would then, for example, be those of divergence free ansatz spaces, in which the individual vector components are coupled.

The result of the function is true if and only if the result of n_nonzero_components(i) is equal to one.

◆ n_base_elements()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_base_elements ( ) const
inherited

Number of base elements in a mixed discretization.

Note that even for vector valued finite elements, the number of components needs not coincide with the number of base elements, since they may be reused. For example, if you create a FESystem with three identical finite element classes by using the constructor that takes one finite element and a multiplicity, then the number of base elements is still one, although the number of components of the finite element is equal to the multiplicity.

◆ base_element()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
virtual const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::base_element ( const unsigned int  index) const
virtualinherited

Access to base element objects. If the element is atomic, then base_element(0) is this.

Reimplemented in FE_Enriched< dim, spacedim >, FESystem< dim, spacedim >, FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ element_multiplicity()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::element_multiplicity ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

This index denotes how often the base element index is used in a composed element. If the element is atomic, then the result is always equal to one. See the documentation for the n_base_elements() function for more details.

◆ get_sub_fe() [1/2]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_sub_fe ( const ComponentMask mask) const
inherited

Return a reference to a contained finite element that matches the components selected by the given ComponentMask mask.

For an arbitrarily nested FESystem, this function returns the inner-most FiniteElement that matches the given mask. The method fails if the mask does not exactly match one of the contained finite elements. It is most useful if the current object is an FESystem, as the return value can only be this in all other cases.

Note that the returned object can be an FESystem if the mask matches it but not any of the contained objects.

Let us illustrate the function with the an FESystem fe with 7 components:

FESystem<2> fe_velocity(FE_Q<2>(2), 2);
FE_Q<2> fe_pressure(1);
FE_DGP<2> fe_dg(0);
FE_BDM<2> fe_nonprim(1);
FESystem<2> fe(fe_velocity, 1, fe_pressure, 1, fe_dg, 2, fe_nonprim, 1);
Definition fe_q.h:554

The following table lists all possible component masks you can use:

ComponentMask Result Description
[true,true,true,true,true,true,true] FESystem<2>[FESystem<2>[FE_Q<2>(2)^2]-FE_Q<2>(1)-FE_DGP<2>(0)^2-FE_BDM<2>(1)] fe itself, the whole FESystem
[true,true,false,false,false,false,false] FESystem<2>[FE_Q<2>(2)^2] just the fe_velocity

virtual const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_sub_fe ( const unsigned int  first_component,
const unsigned int  n_selected_components

virtualinherited

Return a reference to a contained finite element that matches the components n_selected_components components starting at component with index first_component.

See the other get_sub_fe() function above for more details.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, spacedim >, FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ system_to_base_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  index) const
inherited

Return for shape function index the base element it belongs to, the number of the copy of this base element (which is between zero and the multiplicity of this element), and the index of this shape function within this base element.

If the element is not composed of others, then base and instance are always zero, and the index is equal to the number of the shape function. If the element is composed of single instances of other elements (i.e. all with multiplicity one) all of which are scalar, then base values and dof indices within this element are equal to the system_to_component_table. It differs only in case the element is composed of other elements and at least one of them is vector-valued itself.

See the class documentation above for an example of how this function is typically used.

This function returns valid values also in the case of vector-valued (i.e. non-primitive) shape functions, in contrast to the system_to_component_index() function.

◆ face_system_to_base_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int >, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0 
) const
inherited

Same as system_to_base_index(), but for degrees of freedom located on a face. The range of allowed indices is therefore 0..dofs_per_face.

You will rarely need this function in application programs, since almost all application codes only need to deal with cell indices, not face indices. The function is mainly there for use inside the library.

◆ first_block_of_base()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
types::global_dof_index FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::first_block_of_base ( const unsigned int  b) const

Given a base element number, return the first block of a BlockVector it would generate.

◆ component_to_base_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  component) const
inherited

For each vector component, return which base element implements this component and which vector component in this base element this is. This information is only of interest for vector-valued finite elements which are composed of several sub-elements. In that case, one may want to obtain information about the element implementing a certain vector component, which can be done using this function and the FESystem::base_element() function.

If this is a scalar finite element, then the return value is always equal to a pair of zeros.

◆ block_to_base_index()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::pair< unsigned int, unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_to_base_index ( const unsigned int  block) const

inherited

Parameters
scalarAn object that represents a single scalar vector component of this finite element.

inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim*(dim+1)/2 components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Parameters

◆ component_mask() [4/4]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
ComponentMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_mask ( const BlockMask block_mask) const
inherited

Given a block mask (see this glossary entry), produce a component mask (see this glossary entry) that represents the components that correspond to the blocks selected in the input argument. This is essentially a conversion operator from BlockMask to ComponentMask.

Parameters
block_maskThe mask that selects individual blocks of the finite element
Returns
A mask that selects those components corresponding to the selected blocks of the input argument.

◆ block_mask() [1/4]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const FEValuesExtractors::Scalar scalar) const
inherited

Return a block mask with as many elements as this object has blocks and of which exactly the one component is true that corresponds to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
This function will only succeed if the scalar referenced by the argument encompasses a complete block. In other words, if, for example, you pass an extractor for the single \(x\) velocity and this object represents an FE_RaviartThomas object, then the single scalar object you selected is part of a larger block and consequently there is no block mask that would represent it. The function will then produce an exception.
Parameters

Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the one that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [2/4]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>

inherited

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
The same caveat applies as to the version of the function above: The extractor object passed as argument must be so that it corresponds to full blocks and does not split blocks of this element.
Parameters
vectorAn object that represents dim vector components of this finite element.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [3/4]

Return a component mask with as many elements as this object has vector components and of which exactly the dim*(dim+1)/2 components are true that correspond to the given argument. See the glossary for more information.

Note
The same caveat applies as to the version of the function above: The extractor object passed as argument must be so that it corresponds to full blocks and does not split blocks of this element.
Parameters
sym_tensorAn object that represents dim*(dim+1)/2 components of this finite element that are jointly to be interpreted as forming a symmetric tensor.
Returns
A component mask that is false in all components except for the ones that corresponds to the argument.

◆ block_mask() [4/4]

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
BlockMask FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::block_mask ( const ComponentMask component_mask) const
inherited

Given a component mask (see this glossary entry), produce a block mask (see this glossary entry) that represents the blocks that correspond to the components selected in the input argument. This is essentially a conversion operator from ComponentMask to BlockMask.

Note
This function will only succeed if the components referenced by the argument encompasses complete blocks. In other words, if, for example, you pass an component mask for the single \(x\) velocity and this object represents an FE_RaviartThomas object, then the single component you selected is part of a larger block and consequently there is no block mask that would represent it. The function will then produce an exception.
Parameters
component_maskThe mask that selects individual components of the finite element
Returns
A mask that selects those blocks corresponding to the selected blocks of the input argument.

◆ get_unit_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const std::vector< Point< dim > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_unit_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return the support points of the trial functions on the unit cell, if the derived finite element defines them. Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, the returned field is empty.

If the finite element defines support points, then their number equals the number of degrees of freedom of the element. The order of points in the array matches that returned by the cell->get_dof_indices function.

See the class documentation for details on support points.

Note
Finite elements' implementation of this function returns these points in the same order as shape functions. The order of shape functions is typically documented in the class documentation of the various finite element classes. In particular, shape functions (and consequently the mapped quadrature points discussed in the class documentation of this class) will then traverse first those shape functions located on vertices, then on lines, then on quads, etc.
If this element implements support points, then it will return one such point per shape function. Since multiple shape functions may be defined at the same location, the support points returned here may be duplicated. An example would be an element of the kind FESystem(FE_Q(1),3) for which each support point would appear three times in the returned array.

◆ has_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined support points. If the result is true, then a call to the get_unit_support_points() yields an array with dofs_per_cell entries. Note that the function's name is poorly chosen: The function does not return whether an element has support points, but whether its implementation is able to provide a list of support points via get_unit_support_points().

The result may be false if a finite element defines itself not by interpolating shape functions, but by other means. A typical example are discontinuous \(P\)-type elements on quadrilaterals (rather than the common \(Q\)-type elements on quadrilaterals). Elements will generally only true if they construct their shape functions by the requirement that they be nonzero at a certain point and zero at all the points associated with the other shape functions. In other words, if the "node functionals" that form the dual space of the finite element space and are used to define the shape functions are point evaluations.

In composed elements (i.e. for the FESystem class), the result will be true if all the base elements have defined support points. FE_Nothing is a special case since it does not have support point (it has no shape functions, after all), and so returns an empty array from its get_unit_support_points() function. Nonetheless, because that array has the right size, it reports true in the current function.

◆ unit_support_point()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
virtual Point< dim > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_support_point ( const unsigned int  index) const
virtualinherited

Return the position of the support point of the indexth shape function. If it does not exist, raise an exception.

The default implementation simply returns the respective element from the array you get from get_unit_support_points(), but derived elements may overload this function. In particular, note that the FESystem class overloads it so that it can return the support points of individual base elements, if not all the base elements define support points. In this way, you can still ask for certain support points, even if get_unit_support_points() only returns an empty array.

Reimplemented in FESystem< dim, spacedim >, FESystem< dim, dim >, and FESystem< dim, spacedim >.

◆ get_unit_face_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const std::vector< Point< dim - 1 > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_unit_face_support_points ( const unsigned int  face_no = 0) const
inherited

Return the support points of the trial functions on the unit face, if the derived finite element defines some. Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, the returned field is empty

Note that elements that have support points need not necessarily have some on the faces, even if the interpolation points are located physically on a face. For example, the discontinuous elements have interpolation points on the vertices, and for higher degree elements also on the faces, but they are not defined to be on faces since in that case degrees of freedom from both sides of a face (or from all adjacent elements to a vertex) would be identified with each other, which is not what we would like to have). Logically, these degrees of freedom are therefore defined to belong to the cell, rather than the face or vertex. In that case, the returned element would therefore have length zero.

If the finite element defines support points, then their number equals the number of degrees of freedom on the face (dofs_per_face). The order of points in the array matches that returned by the cell->face(face)->get_dof_indices function.

See the class documentation for details on support points.

◆ has_face_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_face_support_points ( const unsigned int  face_no = 0) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined support points on faces. If the result is true, then a call to the get_unit_face_support_points() yields an array with dofs_per_face entries. Note that the function's name is poorly chosen: The function does not return whether an element has support points, but whether its implementation is able to provide a list of support points via get_unit_face_support_points().

For more information, see the documentation for the has_support_points() function.

◆ unit_face_support_point()

virtual Point< dim - 1 > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_face_support_point ( const unsigned int  index,
const unsigned int  face_no = 0

◆ get_generalized_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const std::vector< Point< dim > > & FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_generalized_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return a vector of generalized support points.

Note
The vector returned by this function is always a minimal set of unique support points. This is in contrast to the behavior of get_unit_support_points() that returns a repeated list of unit support points for an FESystem of numerous (Lagrangian) base elements. As a consequence, it is possible to have fewer generalized support points than degrees of freedom in the element. An example is the element FESystem<dim>(FE_Q<dim>(1), 2), which has two copies of the \(Q_1\) element. In 2d, each copy has 4 degrees of freedom, and each copy has its support points in the four vertices of the cell. While the get_support_points() function would return a vector of size 8 in which each of the vertices is listed twice, this function strips out the duplicates and returns a vector of length 4 in which each vertex is listed only once. This is possible because the purpose of this function is to return a list of points so that it is possible to interpolate an arbitrary function onto the finite element space, and this is possible by knowing the two components of the function in question at the four vertices of the cell – it is not necessary to ask for this information twice at each vertex.

See the glossary entry on generalized support points for more information.

◆ has_generalized_support_points()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::has_generalized_support_points ( ) const
inherited

Return whether a finite element has defined generalized support points. If the result is true, then a call to the get_generalized_support_points() yields an array with minimal set of unique support points. Note that the function's name is poorly chosen: The function does not return whether an element has support points, but whether its implementation is able to provide a list of support points via get_unit_support_points().

See the glossary entry on generalized support points or the documentation for the has_support_points() function for more information.

◆ get_associated_geometry_primitive()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
GeometryPrimitive FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::get_associated_geometry_primitive ( const unsigned int  cell_dof_index) const
inherited

For a given degree of freedom, return whether it is logically associated with a vertex, line, quad or hex.

For instance, for continuous finite elements this coincides with the lowest dimensional object the support point of the degree of freedom lies on. To give an example, for \(Q_1\) elements in 3d, every degree of freedom is defined by a shape function that we get by interpolating using support points that lie on the vertices of the cell. The support of these points of course extends to all edges connected to this vertex, as well as the adjacent faces and the cell interior, but we say that logically the degree of freedom is associated with the vertex as this is the lowest-dimensional object it is associated with. Likewise, for \(Q_2\) elements in 3d, the degrees of freedom with support points at edge midpoints would yield a value of GeometryPrimitive::line from this function, whereas those on the centers of faces in 3d would return GeometryPrimitive::quad.

To make this more formal, the kind of object returned by this function represents the object so that the support of the shape function corresponding to the degree of freedom, (i.e., that part of the domain where the function "lives") is the union of all of the cells sharing this object. To return to the example above, for \(Q_2\) in 3d, the shape function with support point at an edge midpoint has support on all cells that share the edge and not only the cells that share the adjacent faces, and consequently the function will return GeometryPrimitive::line.

On the other hand, for discontinuous elements of type \(DGQ_2\), a degree of freedom associated with an interpolation polynomial that has its support point physically located at a line bounding a cell, but is nonzero only on one cell. Consequently, it is logically associated with the interior of that cell (i.e., with a GeometryPrimitive::quad in 2d and a GeometryPrimitive::hex in 3d).

Parameters
[in]cell_dof_indexThe index of a shape function or degree of freedom. This index must be in the range [0,dofs_per_cell).
Note
The integer value of the object returned by this function equals the dimensionality of the object it describes, and can consequently be used in generic programming paradigms. For example, if a degree of freedom is associated with a vertex, then this function returns GeometryPrimitive::vertex, which has a numeric value of zero (the dimensionality of a vertex).

◆ reinit_restriction_and_prolongation_matrices()

void FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::reinit_restriction_and_prolongation_matrices ( const bool  isotropic_restriction_only = false,

Reinit the vectors of restriction and prolongation matrices to the right sizes: For every refinement case, except for RefinementCase::no_refinement, and for every child of that refinement case the space of one restriction and prolongation matrix is allocated, see the documentation of the restriction and prolongation vectors for more detail on the actual vector sizes.

Parameters
isotropic_restriction_onlyonly the restriction matrices required for isotropic refinement are reinited to the right size.
isotropic_prolongation_onlyonly the prolongation matrices required for isotropic refinement are reinited to the right size.

◆ interface_constraints_size()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
TableIndices< 2 > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::interface_constraints_size ( ) const
protectedinherited

Return the size of interface constraint matrices. Since this is needed in every derived finite element class when initializing their size, it is placed into this function, to avoid having to recompute the dimension-dependent size of these matrices each time.

Note that some elements do not implement the interface constraints for certain polynomial degrees. In this case, this function still returns the size these matrices should have when implemented, but the actual matrices are empty.

◆ compute_n_nonzero_components()

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
static std::vector< unsigned int > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::compute_n_nonzero_components ( const std::vector< ComponentMask > &  nonzero_components)

Given the pattern of nonzero components for each shape function, compute for each entry how many components are non-zero for each shape function. This function is used in the constructor of this class.

◆ get_face_data() [1/2]

) const
protectedvirtualinherited

Like get_data(), but return an object that will later be used for evaluating shape function information at quadrature points on faces of cells. The object will then be used in calls to implementations of FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values(). See the documentation of get_data() for more information.

The default implementation of this function converts the face quadrature into a cell quadrature with appropriate quadrature point locations, and with that calls the get_data() function above that has to be implemented in derived classes.

Parameters
[in]update_flagsA set of UpdateFlags values that describe what kind of information the FEValues object requests the finite element to compute. This set of flags may also include information that the finite element can not compute, e.g., flags that pertain to data produced by the mapping. An implementation of this function needs to set up all data fields in the returned object that are necessary to produce the finite-element related data specified by these flags, and may already pre-compute part of this information as discussed above. Elements may want to store these update flags (or a subset of these flags) in InternalDataBase::update_each so they know at the time when FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values() is called what they are supposed to compute
[in]mappingA reference to the mapping used for computing values and derivatives of shape functions.
[in]quadratureA reference to the object that describes where the shape functions should be evaluated.
[out]output_dataA reference to the object that FEValues will use in conjunction with the object returned here and where an implementation of FiniteElement::fill_fe_face_values() will place the requested information. This allows the current function to already pre-compute pieces of information that can be computed on the reference cell, as discussed above. FEValues guarantees that this output object and the object returned by the current function will always be used together.
Returns
A pointer to an object of a type derived from InternalDataBase and that derived classes can use to store scratch data that can be pre-computed, or for scratch arrays that then only need to be allocated once. The calling site assumes ownership of this object and will delete it when it is no longer necessary.

inlineinherited

Read or write the data of this object to or from a stream for the purpose of serialization using the BOOST serialization library.

This function does not actually serialize any of the member variables of this class. The reason is that what this class stores is only who subscribes to this object, but who does so at the time of storing the contents of this object does not necessarily have anything to do with who subscribes to the object when it is restored. Consequently, we do not want to overwrite the subscribers at the time of restoring, and then there is no reason to write the subscribers out in the first place.

◆ check_no_subscribers()

Check that there are no objects subscribing to this object. If this check passes then it is safe to destroy the current object. It this check fails then this function will either abort or print an error message to deallog (by using the AssertNothrow mechanism), but will not throw an exception.

Note
Since this function is just a consistency check it does nothing in release mode.
If this function is called when there is an uncaught exception then, rather than aborting, this function prints an error message to the standard error stream and returns.

◆ reference_cell()

template<int dim>
ReferenceCell FiniteElementData< dim >::reference_cell ( ) const
inherited

Return the kind of reference cell this element is defined on: For example, whether the element's reference cell is a square or triangle, or similar choices in higher dimensions.

◆ n_unique_2d_subobjects()

template<int dim>
unsigned int FiniteElementData< dim >::n_unique_2d_subobjects ( ) const
inherited

Number of unique 2d subobjects. If all two-dimensional subobjects are of the same kind, the value is one; else it equals the number of two-dimensional subobjects. For example, for hex reference cells with the usual finite elements, each face has the same geometric shape (a square) and each face has the same number and kind of shape functions associated with it; as a consequence, the returned value is one. On the other hand, for a wedge element, the two-dimensional subobjects can be both quadrilaterals and triangles, and so the returned value equals the number of faces of these objects (i.e., five).

◆ n_unique_faces()

template<int dim>
unsigned int FiniteElementData< dim >::n_unique_faces ( ) const
inherited

Number of unique faces. If all faces have the same type (i.e., have the same shape and also have the same kind and number of DoFs associated with them), the value is one; else it equals the number of faces.

std::vector<std::vector<FullMatrix<double> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::restriction
protectedinherited

Vector of projection matrices. See get_restriction_matrix() above. The constructor initializes these matrices to zero dimensions, which can be changed by derived classes implementing them.

Note, that restriction[refinement_case-1][child] includes the restriction matrix of child child for the RefinementCase refinement_case. Here, we use refinement_case-1 instead of refinement_case as for RefinementCase::no_refinement(=0) there are no restriction matrices available.

◆ prolongation

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<std::vector<FullMatrix<double> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::prolongation

Vector of embedding matrices. See get_prolongation_matrix() above. The constructor initializes these matrices to zero dimensions, which can be changed by derived classes implementing them.

Note, that prolongation[refinement_case-1][child] includes the prolongation matrix of child child for the RefinementCase refinement_case. Here, we use refinement_case-1 instead of refinement_case as for RefinementCase::no_refinement(=0) there are no prolongation matrices available.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Point<dim> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::unit_support_points
protectedinherited

List of support points on the unit cell, in case the finite element has any. The constructor leaves this field empty, derived classes may write in some contents.

Finite elements that allow some kind of interpolation operation usually have support points. On the other hand, elements that define their degrees of freedom by, for example, moments on faces, or as derivatives, don't have support points. In that case, this field remains empty.

◆ adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation_table

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<Table<2, int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_quad_dof_index_for_face_orientation_table
protectedinherited

For faces with non-standard face_orientation in 3d, the dofs on faces (quads) have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a quad, return the shift in the local index, if the face has non-standard face_orientation, i.e. old_index + shift = new_index. In 2d and 1d there is no need for permutation so the vector is empty. In 3d it has the size of dofs_per_quad * 8 , where 8 is the number of orientations, a face can be in (all combinations of the three bool flags face_orientation, face_flip and face_rotation).

The constructor of this class fills this table with zeros, i.e., no permutation at all. Derived finite element classes have to fill this Table with the correct values.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<int> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::adjust_line_dof_index_for_line_orientation_table
protectedinherited

For lines with non-standard orientation in 2d or 3d, the dofs on lines have to be permuted in order to be combined with the correct shape functions. Given a local dof index on a line, return the shift in the local index, if the line has non-standard line_orientation, i.e. old_index + shift = new_index.

The constructor of this class fills this table with zeros, i.e., no permutation at all. Derived finite element classes have to fill this vector with the correct values.

◆ system_to_component_table

◆ face_system_to_component_table

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<std::vector<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_component_table
protectedinherited

Map between linear dofs and component dofs on face. This is filled with default values in the constructor, but derived classes will have to overwrite the information if necessary.

By component, we mean the vector component, not the base element. The information thus makes only sense if a shape function is non-zero in only one component.

Definition at line 2534 of file fe.h.

◆ system_to_base_table

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::system_to_base_table
protectedinherited

For each shape function, store to which base element and which instance of this base element (in case its multiplicity is greater than one) it belongs, and its index within this base element. If the element is not composed of others, then base and instance are always zero, and the index is equal to the number of the shape function. If the element is composed of single instances of other elements (i.e. all with multiplicity one) all of which are scalar, then base values and dof indices within this element are equal to the system_to_component_table. It differs only in case the element is composed of other elements and at least one of them is vector-valued itself.

This array has valid values also in the case of vector-valued (i.e. non-primitive) shape functions, in contrast to the system_to_component_table.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector< std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::face_system_to_base_table

Likewise for the indices on faces.

Definition at line 2560 of file fe.h.

◆ base_to_block_indices

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
BlockIndices FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::base_to_block_indices

For each base element, store the number of blocks generated by the base and the first block in a block vector it will generate.

Definition at line 2566 of file fe.h.

◆ component_to_base_table

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
std::vector<std::pair<std::pair<unsigned int, unsigned int>, unsigned int> > FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::component_to_base_table
protectedinherited

The base element establishing a component.

For each component number c, the entries have the following meaning:

table[c].first.first
Number of the base element for c. This is the index you can pass to base_element().
table[c].first.second
Component within the base element for c. This value is between 0 and the n_components() of this base element.
table[c].second
Index of the multiple of the base element that contains c. This value is between 0 and the element_multiplicity() of this base element.

This variable is set to the correct size by the constructor of this class, but needs to be initialized by derived classes, unless its size is one and the only entry is a zero, which is the case for scalar elements. In that case, the initialization by the base class is sufficient.

Note
This table is filled by FETools::Compositing::build_cell_tables().

◆ nonzero_components

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const std::vector<ComponentMask> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::nonzero_components
protectedinherited

For each shape function, give a vector of bools (with size equal to the number of vector components which this finite element has) indicating in which component each of these shape functions is non-zero.

For primitive elements, there is only one non-zero component.

Definition at line 2605 of file fe.h.

◆ n_nonzero_components_table

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const std::vector<unsigned int> FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::n_nonzero_components_table
protectedinherited

This array holds how many values in the respective entry of the nonzero_components element are non-zero. The array is thus a short-cut to allow faster access to this information than if we had to count the non-zero entries upon each request for this information. The field is initialized in the constructor of this class.

Definition at line 2614 of file fe.h.

◆ cached_primitivity

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
const bool FiniteElement< dim, spacedim >::cached_primitivity
protectedinherited

Store whether all shape functions are primitive. Since finding this out is a very common operation, we cache the result, i.e. compute the value in the constructor for simpler access.

Definition at line 2621 of file fe.h.

◆ counter

std::atomic<unsigned int> Subscriptor::counter
mutableprivateinherited

Store the number of objects which subscribed to this object. Initially, this number is zero, and upon destruction it shall be zero again (i.e. all objects which subscribed should have unsubscribed again).

The creator (and owner) of an object is counted in the map below if HE manages to supply identification.

We use the mutable keyword in order to allow subscription to constant objects also.

This counter may be read from and written to concurrently in multithreaded code: hence we use the std::atomic class template.

Definition at line 219 of file subscriptor.h.

◆ counter_map

std::map<std::string, unsigned int> Subscriptor::counter_map
mutableprivateinherited

In this map, we count subscriptions for each different identification string supplied to subscribe().

std::vector<std::atomic<bool> *> Subscriptor::validity_pointers
mutableprivateinherited

In this vector, we store pointers to the validity bool in the ObserverPointer objects that subscribe to this class.

Definition at line 241 of file subscriptor.h.

◆ object_info

const std::type_info* Subscriptor::object_info
mutableprivateinherited

Pointer to the typeinfo object of this object, from which we can later deduce the class name. Since this information on the derived class is neither available in the destructor, nor in the constructor, we obtain it in between and store it here.

Definition at line 249 of file subscriptor.h.
