This paper constructs a unified family of nonconforming finite element spaces for $H\Lambda^k$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ ($0\leqslant k\leqslant n$, $n\geqslant 1$). The spaces employ piecewise Whitney forms as shape functions, and include the…

We construct 2D and 3D finite element de Rham sequences of arbitrary polynomial degrees with extra smoothness. Some of these elements have nodal degrees of freedom (DoFs) and can be considered as generalisations of scalar Hermite and…
