NAME

       form_element - bilinear form on a single element

SYNOPSYS

       The form_element class defines functions that compute a bilinear form defined between two polynomial basis on a single geometrical element.
       This bilinear form is represented by a matrix.

       The bilinear form is designated by a string, e.g. "mass", "grad_grad", ...  indicating the form. The form depends also of  the  geometrical
       element: triangle, square, tetrahedron (see geo_element(2)).

IMPLEMENTATION NOTE

       The  form_element class is managed by (see smart_pointer(2)).  This class uses a pointer on a pure virtual class form_element_rep while the
       effective code refers to the specific concrete derived classes: mass, grad_grad, etc.

IMPLEMENTATION

       template <class T, class M>
       class form_element : public smart_pointer<form_element_rep<T,M> > {
       public:

       // typedefs:

	   typedef form_element_rep<T,M>	 rep;
	   typedef smart_pointer<rep>		 base;
	   typedef typename rep::size_type	 size_type;
	   typedef typename rep::vertex_type	 vertex_type;
	   typedef typename rep::space_type	 space_type;
	   typedef typename rep::geo_type	 geo_type;
	   typedef typename rep::coordinate_type coordinate_type;

       // constructors:

	   form_element ();
	   form_element (
	       std::string	     name,
	       const space_type&     X,
	       const space_type&     Y,
	       const geo_type&	     omega,
	       const quadrature_option_type& qopt);

       // accessors & modifier:

	   void operator() (const geo_element& K, ublas::matrix<T>& m) const;
	   virtual bool is_symmetric () const;

       // for scalar-weighted forms:

	   void set_weight (const field_basic<T,M>& wh) const;
	   bool is_weighted() const;
	   const field_basic<T,M>& get_weight () const;

       // for banded level set method:

	   bool is_on_band() const;
	   const band_basic<T,M>& get_band() const;
	   void set_band (const band_basic<T,M>& bh) const;

       };
