DESCRIPTION

The form class groups four sparse matrix, associated to a bilinear form on two finite element spaces:

       a: U*V   ----> IR
         (u,v)  |---> a(u,v)

The operator A associated to the bilinear form is defined by:

       A: U  ----> V'
          u  |---> A(u)

where u and v are fields (see field(2)), and A(u) is such that a(u,v)=<A(u),v> for all u in U and v in V and where <.,.> denotes the duality product between V and V'. Since V is a finite dimensional spaces, the duality product is the euclidian product in IR^dim(V).

Since both U and V are finite dimensional spaces, the linear operator can be represented by a matrix. The form class is represented by four sparse matrix in csr format (see csr(2)), associated to unknown and blocked degrees of freedom of origin and destination spaces (see space(2)).

EXAMPLE

The operator A associated to a bilinear form a(.,.) by the relation (Au,v) = a(u,v) could be applied by using a sample matrix notation A*u, as shown by the following code:

      geo omega("square");
      space V (omega,"P1");
      form a (V,V,"grad_grad");
      field uh = interpolate (fct, V);
      field vh = a*uh;
      cout << v;

The form-field vh=a*uh operation is equivalent to the following matrix-vector operations:

     vh.set_u() = a.uu()*uh.u() + a.ub()*uh.b();
     vh.set_b() = a.bu()*uh.u() + a.bb()*uh.b();

ALGEBRA

Forms, as matrices (see csr(2)), support linear algebra: Adding or substracting two forms writes a+b and a-b, respectively, and multiplying a form by a field uh writes a*uh. Thus, any linear combination of forms is available.

WEIGHTED FORM

A weighted form is a form with an extra weight function w(x), e.g.:

                   /
                  |
       a(uh,vh) = |       grad(uh).grad(vh) w(x) dx
                  |
                 / Omega

In the present implementation, w can be any field, function or class-function or any nonlinear field expression (see field(2)). As the integration cannot be performed exactly in general, a quadrature formula can be supplied. This feature is extensively used when solving nonlinear problems.
