Hi, there. I'm not sure my question is relavent to this group. Is
there a finite element forum on net? Anyway, my question goes like
this. I need C^1 continuity but may have to resort to use incomplete
polynormial basis. I know that if one use such an basis, one cannot
, in principle, describe any shape of functions to that order of
the polynormial. Usually, it should not be a problem since Finite
element itself is an approximation anyway. Does anyone know the
trade-off in real life about using an incomplete basis (in terms
of convergency etc.)?

Thanks in advance

Dr Bi Chen
