We extend the $C^1$-$P_3$ Fraeijs de Veubeke-Sander finite element to two families of $C^1$-$P_k$ ($k>3$) macro finite elements on general quadrilateral meshes. On each quadrilateral, four $P_k$ polynomials are defined on the four triangles…
This paper considers the cohomology and bounded interpolation of nonstandard finite element complexes, e.g. Stokes, Hessian, Elasticity, divdiv. Compared to the standard finite element exterior calculus, the main challenge is the existence…

The starting point of this work is that the class of evolution algebras over a fixed field is closed under tensor product. This arises questions about the inheritance of properties from the tensor product to the factors and conversely. For…

If a finite element mesh contains concave elements, it is said to tangled. Tangled meshes can occur during mesh generation, mesh optimization, and large deformation simulations, and will lead to erroneous results during finite element…
