3 What is a geometric decomposition? A geometric decomposition for a finite element space is an explicit correspondence: {1, x, y, x 2, y 2, xy, x 3, y 3, x 2 y, xy 2, x 3 y, xy 3 } {ϑ 11, ϑ 14, ϑ 41, ϑ 44, ϑ 12, ϑ 13, ϑ 42, ϑ 43, ϑ 21, ϑ 31, ϑ 24, ϑ 34 } monomials basis functions domain points Previously known basis functions employ Legendre polynomials These functions bear no symmetrical correspondence to the domain points 1 (x 1)(y 1) ( x 2 1 ) (y 1) 1 5 x ( x 2 1 ) (y 1) 4 2 vertex edge (quadratic) edge (cubic) SZABÓ AND I.
