## Detailed Description

Delta function coefficient optionally multiplied by a weight coefficient and a scaled time dependent C-function.

$$F(x,t) = w(x,t) s T(t) d(x - xc)$$

where w is the optional weight coefficient, s is a scale factor T is an optional time-dependent function and d is a delta function.

WARNING this cannot be used as a normal coefficient. The usual Eval method is disabled.

## Member Function Documentation

 const double* mfem::DeltaCoefficient::Center ( )
inline

Return a pointer to a c-array representing the center of the delta function.

Definition at line 383 of file coefficient.hpp.

 virtual double mfem::DeltaCoefficient::Eval ( ElementTransformation & T, const IntegrationPoint & ip )
inlinevirtual

A DeltaFunction cannot be evaluated. Calling this method will cause an MFEM error, terminating the application.

Implements mfem::Coefficient.

Definition at line 403 of file coefficient.hpp.

 double mfem::DeltaCoefficient::EvalDelta ( ElementTransformation & T, const IntegrationPoint & ip )
virtual

The value of the function assuming we are evaluating at the delta center.

Definition at line 179 of file coefficient.cpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::GetDeltaCenter ( Vector & center )

Write the center of the delta function into center.

Definition at line 173 of file coefficient.cpp.

 double mfem::DeltaCoefficient::Scale ( )
inline

Return the scale factor times the optional time dependent function. Returns $$s T(t)$$ with $$T(t) = 1$$ when not set by the user.

Definition at line 388 of file coefficient.hpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::SetDeltaCenter ( const Vector & center )

Set the center location of the delta function.

Definition at line 165 of file coefficient.cpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::SetFunction ( double(*)(double) f )
inline

Definition at line 363 of file coefficient.hpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::SetTime ( double t )
virtual

Reimplemented from mfem::Coefficient.

Definition at line 159 of file coefficient.cpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::SetTol ( double tol_ )
inline

Set the tolerance used during projection onto GridFunction to identify the Mesh vertex where the Center() of the delta function lies. (default 1e-12)

Definition at line 371 of file coefficient.hpp.

 void mfem::DeltaCoefficient::SetWeight ( Coefficient * w )
inline

Set a weight Coefficient that multiplies the DeltaCoefficient.

The weight Coefficient multiplies the value returned by EvalDelta() but not the value returned by Scale(). The weight Coefficient is also used as the L2-weight function when projecting the DeltaCoefficient onto a GridFunction, so that the weighted integral of the projection is exactly equal to the Scale().

Definition at line 379 of file coefficient.hpp.

 double mfem::DeltaCoefficient::Tol ( )
inline

Return the tolerance used to identify the mesh vertices.

Definition at line 391 of file coefficient.hpp.

 Coefficient* mfem::DeltaCoefficient::Weight ( )
inline

See SetWeight() for description of the weight Coefficient.

Definition at line 394 of file coefficient.hpp.
