Abstract

Access to nodal basis functions can be a limiting factor in finite element codes.  Users would like bases for H1, H(div), and H(curl) for any polynomial degree, but this can be difficult to achieve.  Moreover, design decisions are usually made not by what method is appropriate but by what method is expedient to implement.  I will talk about a general mathematical framework that translates problems of computing general finite element bases into linear algebra.  As an example, I will talk about the Karper-Mardal-Winther element in some detail.  I will also discuss some of the technological issues, such as relative merits of using numerical and symbolic methods.
