Exact sequences on Powell-Sabin splits

Numerical Analysis 2019-04-12 v1

Abstract

We construct smooth finite elements spaces on Powell-Sabin triangulations that form an exact sequence. The first space of the sequence coincides with the classical C1C^1 Powell-Sabin space, while the others form stable and divergence-free yielding pairs for the Stokes problem. We develop degrees of freedom for these spaces that induce projections that commute with the differential operators.
