High-order finite elements on pyramids: approximation spaces, unisolvency and exactness

Numerical Analysis 2010-10-29 v6

Abstract

We present a family of high-order finite element approximation spaces on a pyramid, and associated unisolvent degrees of freedom. These spaces consist of rational basis functions. We establish conforming, exactness and polynomial approximation properties.
