Detailed Description

template<unsigned int dim>
class FiniteElement< dim >

Abstract class for the description of a general finite element on a reference simplex in dim dimensions.

The finite element is determined by a function_space_ and a set of dofs_. Further it must be set whether the finite element is_primitive_, which means that even if the functions in function_space_ are vector-valued, the basis functions have only one nonzero component (this is typical for tensor-product FE, e.g. vector-valued polynomial FE, but not for Raviart-Thomas FE).

Description of dofs:

The reference cell consists of lower dimensional entities (points, lines, triangles). Each dof is associated to one of these entities. If the entity is shared by 2 or more neighbouring cells in the mesh then this dof is shared by the finite elements on all of these cells. If a dof is associated to the cell itself then it is not shared with neighbouring cells.

Shape functions:

Sometimes it is convenient to describe the function space using a basis (called the raw basis) that is different from the set of shape functions for the finite element (the actual basis). For this reason we define the support points which play the role of nodal functionals associated to the particular dofs. To convert between the two bases one can use the node_matrix, which is constructed by the method compute_node_matrix(). In the case of non-Lagrangean finite elements the dofs are not associated to nodal functionals but e.g. to derivatives or averages. For that reason we distinguish between the unit support points which are uniquely associated to the dofs and the generalized support points that are auxiliary for the calculation of the dof functionals.
