Hi all,

I am working on system that requires me to start with a 4th order
element since the mesh for the domain is prescribed from an external
source. Now, since libMesh does not have 4th order lagrangian elements
and since I'm lazy to learn a new package (and since I'm constrained
in time), I decided to implement higher order lagrange elements (EDGE,
QUAD, HEX only for now) till order 5. But on my first look to proceed
with this idea, I noticed that there is an  embedding matrix that is
prescribed for every element. And I do not exactly understand the
usage of this array in the bigger picture. If someone can help me
understand what exactly it represents, it would be tremendously
helpful for me in the implementation.

I might have posed a similar question couple of years ago in the
context of higher order elements but when I'm done testing, I
definitely can create a patch to add the functionality to the library,
even though my focus is only for limited elements.

Thanks,
vijay
