  /**  Description of a geometric transformation between a
   * reference element and a real element.
   *
   * Geometric nodes and vector of polynomials. This class is not to
   * be manipulate by itself.  Use bgeot::pgeometric_trans and the
   * functions written to produce the basic geometric transformations.
   *
   * <h3>Description of the geometry</h3>
   *     Let @f$T \in\ {I\hspace{-0.3em}R}^N@f$ be a real element and
   *     @f$\overline{T} \in\ {I\hspace{-0.3em}R}^P@f$ be a reference element,
   *      with @f$N >= P@f$.
   *
   *     The geometric nodes of @f$\overline{T}@f$ are the points
   *     @f$\overline{g}^i \in\ {I\hspace{-0.3em}R}^P@f$, for @f$i = 0 .. n_g-1@f$,
   *     and the corresponding (via the geometric transformation) nodes of
   *     @f$T@f$ are the points @f$g^i \in\ {I\hspace{-0.3em}R}^N@f$.
   *
   *  <h3>Geometric transformation</h3>
   *     The geometric transformation is the application
   *     @f[ \begin{array}{rl}
   *        \tau : \overline{T} & \longrightarrow \ T, \\
   *               \overline{x} & \longmapsto \ \ x,
   *     \end{array} @f]
   *     which should be a diffeomorphism between @f$\overline{T}@f$ and @f$T@f$.
   *     It is assumed that there exists a (generally polynomial) vector
   *     @f$ \underline{\cal N}(\overline{x})
   *        = \left({\cal N}i_(\overline{x})\right)i_, \ \ i = 0 .. n_g-1, @f$
   *     defined on @f$\overline{T}@f$ of size @f$n_g@f$, such that the
   *     transformation
   *     @f$\tau@f$ can be written
   *     @f$ \tau(\overline{x}) = \sum_{i = 0}^{n_g-1} {\cal N}i_(\overline{x})
   *     g^i@f$.
   *
   *     Denoting by
   *     @f$ \underline{\underline{G}} = (g^0; g^1; ...;g^{n_g-1}), @f$
   *     The matrix in which each column is a geometric node of @f$T@f$,
   *     the transformation @f$\tau@f$ can be written as
   *     @f$ \tau(\overline{x}) = \underline{\underline{G}} \
   *        \underline{\cal N}(\overline{x}). @f$
   *
   *  <h3>Gradient of the transformation</h3>
   *     The gradient of the transformation is
   *     @f[ \nabla \tau(\overline{x}) =
   *     \left( \frac{\partial \tau_i}{\partial \overline{x}_j} \right)_{ij}
   *     = \left( \sum_{l = 0}^{n_g-1}g^l_i
   *     \frac{\partial {\cal N}l_(\overline{x})}{\partial \overline{x}_j}
   *     \right)_{ij} = \underline{\underline{G}}\ \nabla
   *     \underline{\cal N}(\overline{x}), @f]
   *
   *     Remark : @f$\underline{\underline{G}}@f$ is a @f$N \times n_g@f$ matrix,
   *       @f$\nabla \underline{\cal N}(\overline{x})@f$ is a @f$n_g \times P@f$
   *       matrix, and thus @f$\nabla \tau(\overline{x})@f$ is a @f$N \times P@f$
   *       matrix.
   *
   *  <h3>Inverse transformation and pseudo-inverse</h3>
