Lattices of points.

Enumeration Type Documentation

simplex_method

enum basix::lattice::simplex_method

strong

The method used to generate points inside simplices.

Enumerator
none	Used when no method is needed, e.g. when making points on a quadrilateral, or when making equispaced points).
warp	Warping from Hesthaven and Warburton, Nodal Discontinuous Galerkin Methods, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-72067-8.
isaac	Points described in Isaac, Recursive, Parameter-Free, Explicitly Defined Interpolation Nodes for Simplices, https://doi.org/10.1137/20M1321802.
centroid	Place points at the centroids of the grid created by putting points on the edges, as described in Blyth and Pozrikidis, A Lobatto interpolation grid over the triangle, https://doi.org/10.1093/imamat/hxh077.

type

enum basix::lattice::type

strong

The type of point spacing to be used in a lattice.

Note

type::chebyshev_plus_endpoints and type::gl_plus_endpoints are only intended for internal use only.

Enumerator
equispaced	Equally spaced points
gll	Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre (GLL) points
chebyshev	Chebyshev points
gl	Gauss-Legendre (GL) points
chebyshev_plus_endpoints	Chebyshev points plus the endpoints of the interval
gl_plus_endpoints	Gauss-Legendre (GL) points plus the endpoints of the interval

Function Documentation

create()

std::pair< std::vector< double >, std::array< std::size_t, 2 > > basix::lattice::create	(	cell::type	celltype,
		int	n,
		lattice::type	type,
		bool	exterior,
		lattice::simplex_method	simplex_method = lattice::simplex_method::none
	)

Create a lattice of points on a reference cell optionally including the outer surface points.

For a given celltype, this creates a set of points on a regular grid which covers the cell, eg for a quadrilateral, with n=2, the points are: [0,0], [0.5,0], [1,0], [0,0.5], [0.5,0.5], [1,0.5], [0,1], [0.5,1], [1,1]. If the parameter exterior is set to false, the points lying on the external boundary are omitted, in this case for a quadrilateral with n == 2, the points are: [0.5, 0.5]. The lattice type can be chosen as type::equispaced or type::gll. The type::gll lattice has points spaced along each edge at the Gauss-Lobatto-Legendre quadrature points. These are the same as type::equispaced when n < 3.

Parameters

celltype	The cell type
n	Size in each direction. There are n + 1 points along each edge of the cell
type	A lattice type
exterior	If set, includes outer boundaries
simplex_method	The method used to generate points on simplices

Returns

Set of points. Shape is (npoints, tdim) and storage is row-major
