Detailed Description

template<int dim>
class PolynomialsNedelec< dim >

This class implements the first family Hcurl-conforming, vector-valued polynomials, proposed by J.-C. Nédélec in 1980 (Numer. Math. 35).

The Nédélec polynomials are constructed such that the curl is in the tensor product polynomial space Qk. Therefore, the polynomial order of each component must be one order higher in the corresponding two directions, yielding the polynomial spaces (Qk,k+1, Qk+1,k) and (Qk,k+1,k+1, Qk+1,k,k+1, Qk+1,k+1,k) in 2D and 3D, resp.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

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

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

  • k: the degree of the Nédélec space, which is the degree of the largest tensor product polynomial space Qk contained.

Member Function Documentation

template<int dim>
void PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::compute ( 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

Compute the value and the first and second derivatives of each Nédélec 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.

template<int dim>
unsigned int PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::n ( ) const
inline

Return the number of Nédélec polynomials.

Definition at line 140 of file polynomials_nedelec.h.

template<int dim>
unsigned int PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::degree ( ) const
inline

Return the degree of the Nédélec space, which is one less than the highest polynomial degree.

Definition at line 148 of file polynomials_nedelec.h.

template<int dim>
std::string PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::name ( ) const
inline

Return the name of the space, which is Nedelec.

Definition at line 156 of file polynomials_nedelec.h.

template<int dim>
unsigned int PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::compute_n_pols ( unsigned int  degree)
static

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

Definition at line 1487 of file polynomials_nedelec.cc.

template<int dim>
std::vector< std::vector< Polynomials::Polynomial< double > > > PolynomialsNedelec< dim >::create_polynomials ( const unsigned int  k)
staticprivate

A static member function that creates the polynomial space we use to initialize the polynomial_space member variable.
