Dear Torquil,
There is an example in getfem_mesh_fem_global_function.cc which allows to
define a mesh_fem with some arbitry global functions (i.e. a spectral method).
Moreover, with getfem_mesh_fem_product.cc it is possible to obtain the
mulitplication of standard polynomial shape functions with these global
functions. It is in fact possible to define some elements with non-polynomial
shape functions by derivating the class getfem::fem<FUNC> (see getfem_fem.h)
where FUNC should be a class provinding a certain number of operations such as
derivative and eval.
Yves.

Hi!
On the Getfem web page it says "Extensions are provided to describe
Hermite elements, piecewise polynomial or non-polynomial elements,
vector elements and XFEM.":
http://download.gna.org/getfem/html/homepage/
How would I go about constructing a mesh_fem that uses e.g. the
exponential function in the definition of a basis function? After
reading mesh_fem.cc, I know how to specify polynomial basis functions.
But I have not found any examples of non-polynomial mesh_fem's other
than piecewise polynomial composite mesh_fem's.
Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
