Detailed Description

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
class hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >

This class acts as a collection of finite element objects used in the hp::DoFHandler. It is thus to a hp::DoFHandler what a FiniteElement is to a DoFHandler.

It implements the concepts stated in the hp Collections module described in the doxygen documentation.

In addition to offering access to the elements of the collection, this class provides access to the maximal number of degrees of freedom per vertex, line, etc, to allow allocation of as much memory as is necessary in the worst case when using the finite elements associated with the cells of a triangulation.

This class has not yet been implemented for the use in the codimension one case (spacedim != dim ).

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::FECollection (  ) 

Default constructor. Leads to an empty collection that can later be filled using push_back().

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::FECollection ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  fe  )  [explicit]

Conversion constructor. This constructor creates a FECollection from a single finite element. More finite element objects can be added with push_back(), if desired, though it would probably be clearer to add all mappings the same way.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::FECollection ( const FECollection< dim, spacedim > &  fe_collection  ) 

Copy constructor.


Member Function Documentation

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
void hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::push_back ( const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > &  new_fe  ) 

Add a finite element. This function generates a copy of the given element, i.e. you can do things like push_back(FE_Q<dim>(1));. The internal copy is later destroyed by this object upon destruction of the entire collection.

When a new element is added, it needs to have the same number of vector components as all other elements already in the collection.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
const FiniteElement< dim, spacedim > & hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::operator[] ( const unsigned int  index  )  const [inline]

Get a reference to the given element in this collection.

Precondition:
index must be between zero and the number of elements of the collection.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::size (  )  const [inline]

Return the number of finite element objects stored in this collection.

References hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::n_components (  )  const [inline]

Return the number of vector components of the finite elements in this collection. This number must be the same for all elements in the collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_vertex (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per vertex over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_line (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per line over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_quad (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per quad over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_hex (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per hex over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_face (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per face over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::max_dofs_per_cell (  )  const [inline]

Return the maximal number of degrees of freedom per cell over all elements of this collection.

References Assert, and hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::finite_elements.

template<int dim, int spacedim = dim>
unsigned int hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::memory_consumption (  )  const

Return an estimate for the memory allocated for this object.

template<int dim, int spacedim>
bool hp::FECollection< dim, spacedim >::hp_constraints_are_implemented (  )  const [inline]

Return whether all elements in this collection implement the hanging node constraints in the new way, which has to be used to make elements "hp compatible". If this is not the case, the function returns false, which implies, that at least one element in the FECollection does not support the new face interface constraints. On the other hand, if this method does return true, this does not imply that the hp method will work!

This behaviour is related to the fact, that FiniteElement classes, which provide the new style hanging node constraints might still not provide them for all possible cases. If FE_Q and FE_RaviartThomas elements are included in the FECollection and both properly implement the get_face_interpolation_matrix method, this method will return true. But the get_face_interpolation_matrix might still fail to find an interpolation matrix between these two elements.
