# PetscGaussLobattoLegendreElementLaplacianCreate
computes the Laplacian for a single 1d GLL element
## Synopsis
```
#include "petscdt.h"
PetscErrorCode PetscGaussLobattoLegendreElementLaplacianCreate(PetscInt n, PetscReal *nodes, PetscReal *weights, PetscReal ***AA)
```
Not Collective
## Input Parameters
- ***n -*** the number of GLL nodes
- ***nodes -*** the GLL nodes
- ***weights -*** the GLL weights
## Output Parameter
- ***A -*** the stiffness element
## Notes
Destroy this with `PetscGaussLobattoLegendreElementLaplacianDestroy()`
You can access entries in this array with AA[i][j] but in memory it is stored in contiguous memory, row oriented (the array is symmetric)
