✦ Synopsis

A few of the published three-dimensional Serendipity infinite element mapping functions have been discovered to be in error. The paper gives corrected versions of the defective mapping functions. The problems only relate to three-dimensional elements of the Serendipity type, when they extend to infinity in two or more directions. The new version of the mapping functions have been tested and appear to be robust.
