Thanks for answering!

Anders got it right, discontinous and overlapping basis functions with the same 
global support as P1 tent functions. Sorry to hear that it would be hard to 
implement, but it came as no surprise...


Thanks anyway!


Joakim

Subject: Re: [FEniCS] Implement a new finite element type for testing purposes?

If I understand correctly, you want discontinuous and overlapping basis 
functions with the same global support as the P1 tent functions. Unless you 
find a clever trick for how to treat this (perhaps via some linear algebra 
using P0 elements in combination with some suitable constraints), this looks 
difficult to implement in FEniCS. We assume each element is defined locally on 
triangles/tetrahedra.

I interpret it as a DG0, but where nodes are associated with vertices.  Related 
to mass-lumping, I guess.

If I understand your explanation correctly (it does not seem to match
with the figure!), it is Discontinuous Lagrange element of degree 0,
which is implemented.
