Abstract

Motivated by the study of the electrodynamics of particles, we propose in this work an arbitrary-order discrete de Rham scheme for the treatment of elliptic problems with potential and flux jumps across a fixed interface. The scheme seamlessly supports general elements resulting from the cutting of a background mesh along the interface. Interface conditions are enforced weakly \`a la Nitsche. We provide a rigorous convergence of analysis of the scheme for a steady model problem and showcase an application to a physical problem inspired by the Leaky Dielectric Model.
