We present a local construction of H(curl)-conforming piecewise polynomials satisfying a prescribed curl constraint. We start from a piecewise polynomial not contained in the H(curl) space but satisfying a suitable orthogonality property.…
We prove that the minimizer in the N\'ed\'elec polynomial space of some degree p > 0 of a discrete minimization problem performs as well as the continuous minimizer in H(curl), up to a constant that is independent of the polynomial degree…

We design an operator from the infinite-dimensional Sobolev space ${\boldsymbol H}(\mathrm{curl})$ to its finite-dimensional subspace formed by the N\'ed\'elec piecewise polynomials on a tetrahedral mesh that has the following properties:…
We construct H(curl) and H(div) conforming finite elements on convex polygons and polyhedra with minimal possible degrees of freedom, i.e., the number of degrees of freedom is equal to the number of edges or faces of the polygon/polyhedron.…

We study extensions of piecewise polynomial data prescribed on faces and possibly in elements of a patch of simplices sharing a vertex. In the $H^1$ setting, we look for functions whose jumps across the faces are prescribed, whereas in the…
We devise and analyse a novel $\boldsymbol{H}(\textbf{curl})$-reconstruction operator for piecewise polynomial fields on shape-regular simplicial meshes. The (non-polynomial) reconstruction is devised over the mesh vertex patches using the…
For unconstrained control problems, a local convergence rate is established for an $hp$-method based on collocation at the Radau quadrature points in each mesh interval of the discretization. If the continuous problem has a sufficiently…
The de Rham complex arises naturally when studying problems in electromagnetism and fluid mechanics. Stable numerical methods to solve these problems can be obtained by using a discrete de Rham complex that preserves the structure of the…
This paper studies the hierarchy of local minimums of a polynomial in the space. For this purpose, we first compute H-minimums, for which the first and second order optimality conditions are satisfied. To compute each H-minimum, we…
We develop a finite element discretization for the weakly symmetric equations of linear elasticity on tetrahedral meshes. The finite element combines, for $r \geq 0$, discontinuous polynomials of $r$ for the displacement,…
Given a domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, the de Rham complex of differential forms arises naturally in the study of problems in electromagnetism and fluid mechanics defined on $\Omega$, and its discretization helps build stable…
We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the…
