expression integration

Synopsis

    template <typename Expression>
    Value integrate (geo domain, Expression, integrate_option iopt);

Description

This overloaded function is able to return either a scalar constant, a field or a bilinear form, depending upon its arguments.

  1. When the expression involves both trial and test functions, the result is a bilinear form
  2. When the expression involves either a trial or a test function, the result is a linear form, represented by the field class
  3. When the expression involves neither a trial nor a test function, the result is a scalar constant

The general call involves three arguments:

  1. the geo domain of integration
  2. the expression to integrate
  3. the integrate_option

Here is the overloaded synopsis:

    Float integrate (geo domain, Expression, integrate_option iopt);
    field integrate (geo domain, Expression, integrate_option iopt);
    form  integrate (geo domain, Expression, integrate_option iopt);

Omitted arguments

Some argument could be omitted when the expression involves a test function:

  • when the domain of integration is omitted, then it is taken as those of the test function

The reduced synopsis is:

    field integrate (Expression, integrate_option iopt);
    form  integrate (Expression, integrate_option iopt);
  • when the integrate_option is omitted, then a Gauss quadrature formula is considered such that it integrates exactly 2*k+1 polynomials where k is the polynomial degree of the test function. When a trial function is also involved, then this degree is k1+k2+1 where k1 and k2 are the polynomial degree of the test and trial functions.

The reduced synopsis is:

    field integrate (geo domain, Expression);
    form  integrate (geo domain, Expression);

Both arguments could be omitted an the synopsis becomes:

    field integrate (Expression);
    form  integrate (Expression);

Integration over a subdomain

Let omega be a finite element mesh of a geometric domain, as described by the geo class. A subdomain is defined by indexation, e.g. omega["left"] and, when a test function is involved, the omega could be omitted, and only the string "left" has to be present e.g.

    test v (Xh);
    field lh = integrate ("left", 2*v);

is equivalent to

    field lh = integrate (omega["left"], 2*v);

Measure of a domain

Finally, when only the domain argument is provided, the integrate function returns its measure:

    Float integrate (geo domain);

Examples

The computation of the measure of a domain:

    Float meas_omega = integrate (omega);
    Float meas_left  = integrate (omega["left"]);

The integral of a function:

    Float f (const point& x) { return exp(x[0]+x[1]); }
    ...
    integrate_option iopt;
    iopt.set_order (3);
    Float int_f = integrate (omega, f, iopt);

The function can be replaced by any expression combining functions, class-functions and field.

The right-hand-side involved by the variational formulation

    space Xh (omega, "P1");
    test v (Xh);
    field lh = integrate (f*v);

For a bilinear form:

    trial u (Xh);
    form m = integrate (u*v);
    form a = integrate (dot(grad(u),grad(v)));

The expression can also combine functions, class-functions and field.
