# PetscSpaceEvaluate

Evaluate the basis functions and their derivatives (jet) at each point

## Synopsis

    #include "petscfe.h"
    PetscErrorCode PetscSpaceEvaluate(PetscSpace sp, PetscInt npoints, const PetscReal points[], PetscReal B[], PetscReal D[], PetscReal H[])

## Input Parameters

- sp - The `PetscSpace`

- npoints - The number of evaluation points, in reference coordinates

- points - The point coordinates

## Output Parameters

- B - The function evaluations in a `npoints` x `nfuncs` array

- D - The derivative evaluations in a `npoints` x `nfuncs` x `dim` array

- H - The second derivative evaluations in a `npoints` x `nfuncs` x `dim` x `dim` array

## Note

Above `nfuncs` is the dimension of the space, and `dim` is the spatial dimension. The coordinates are given on the reference cell, not in real space.
