PetscFECreateLagrangeByCell

Create a PetscFE for the basic Lagrange space of degree k

Synopsis

#include "petscfe.h" 
PetscErrorCode PetscFECreateLagrangeByCell(MPI_Comm comm, PetscInt dim, PetscInt Nc, DMPolytopeType ct, PetscInt k, PetscInt qorder, PetscFE *fem)
Collective

Input Parameters

comm - The MPI comm
dim - The spatial dimension
Nc - The number of components
ct - The celltype of the reference cell
k - The degree k of the space
qorder - The quadrature order or PETSC_DETERMINE to use PetscSpace polynomial degree

Output Parameter

fem - The PetscFE object

Notes

For simplices, this element is the space of maximum polynomial degree k, otherwise it is a tensor product of 1D polynomials, each with maximal degree k.
