Abstract

In this paper, we define so-called QT triangulation of a given partition with quadrilateral, establish aC 2 finite element and interpolation of the space of piecewise bivariate polynomial of total degree 6, and in the process obtain a local bases for the space.

Zusammenfassung

In diesem Artikel wird eine sogenannte QT-Triangulierung einer gegebenen Vierecksunterteilung eingeführt. Ein Finite-Elemente-Unterraum des RaumesC 2 wird konstruiert. Dieser Unterraum besteht aus den Funktionen, die stückweise Polynome von zwei Veränderlichen des Gesamtgrades 6 sind und gewissen Interpolationsbedingungen Genügen.
