  • Abstract
    The letter presents a formula expressing the number of tetrahedrons in 3-D finite-element mesh, in terms of the numbers of edges, vertices and boundary vertices, for use in the allocation of space for data structure and determination of the condition for uniqueness of solution, attaching to the formulation of field problems.
