14.1.1 Initialize_Monomial Procedure

The Initialize_Monomial procedure allocates and initializes a Monomial object.

Calling syntax:

call Initialize (Monomial, Coefficient, Exponent, Phi_MV, Locus, Mesh, Name, status)

Input variables:

	Subtype variables
	Monomial		The Monomial object to be initialized.
	Coefficient		A vector of coefficents for the monomial.
	Exponent		The degree (exponent) of the monomial.
	Phi_MV		An Mathematic Vector of the independent variable that this monomial is based on (past time step or iterate value).
	Locus		The location for the monomial (e.g. Cells, Nodes or Faces)
	Mesh		The Mesh object that this monomial is based on.
	Name		The name for this variable. [Optional]

Output variables:

	Monomial		The Monomial object has been allocated and initialized.
	status		If present, the status variable is set to either 'Memory Error' or 'Success' depending on program execution. If not present, the procedure aborts if unsuccessful when the DEBUG_LEVEL is set high enough.

Internal variables:

	allocate_status		Allocation Status.
	consolidated_status		Consolidated Status.

The Initialize_Monomial code listing contains additional documentation.
