A $C^1$-$Q_k$ serendipity finite element is a sub-element of $C^1$-$Q_k$ BFS finite element such that the element remains $C^1$-continuous and includes all $P_k$ polynomials. In other words, it is a minimum of $Q_k$ bubbles enriched $P_k$…
Both the function and its normal derivative on the element boundary are $Q_k$ polynomials for the Bogner-Fox-Schmit $C^1$-$Q_k$ finite element functions. Mathematically, to keep the optimal order of approximation, their spaces are required…
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…
We present a novel family of $C^1$ quadrilateral finite elements, which define global $C^1$ spaces over a general quadrilateral mesh with vertices of arbitrary valency. The elements extend the construction by (Brenner and Sung, J. Sci.…
Optimally convergent (with respect to the regularity) quadratic finite element method for two dimensional obstacle problem on simplicial meshes is studied in (Brezzi, Hager, Raviart, Numer. Math, 28:431--443, 1977). There was no analogue of…

We construct smooth finite element de Rham complexes in two space dimensions. This leads to three families of curl-curl conforming finite elements, two of which contain two existing families. The simplest triangular and rectangular finite…
It is shown in this paper that non-conforming finite elements on the triangle using $P^{1}$-nonconforming polynomials and $P^{2}$ -conforming polynomials can be easily built and used.They appear as an 'enriched' version of the standard…
Given an integer $k$, define $C_k$ as the set of integers $n > \max(k,0)$ such that $a^{n-k+1} \equiv a \pmod{n}$ holds for all integers $a$. We establish various multiplicative properties of the elements in $C_k$ and give a sufficient…
Finite element spaces by Whitney $k$-forms on cubical meshes in $\mathbb{R}^n$ are presented. Based on the spaces, compatible discretizations to $H\Lambda^k$ problems are provided, and discrete de Rham complexes and commutative diagrams are…
This paper proposes a construction of $C^r$ conforming finite element spaces with arbitrary $r$ in any dimension. It is shown that if $k \ge 2^{d}r+1$ the space $\mathcal P_k$ of polynomials of degree $\le k$ can be taken as the shape…
In this paper, we introduce quadratic and cubic polynomial enrichments of the classical Crouzeix--Raviart finite element, with the aim of constructing accurate approximations in such enriched elements. To achieve this goal, we respectively…

We let $\mathcal{F}$ be a finite family of sets closed under taking unions and $\emptyset \not \in \mathcal{F}$, and call an element abundant if it belongs to more than half of the sets of $\mathcal{F}$. In this notation, the classical…
In this paper, we construct, in a unified fashion, lower order finite element subspaces of spaces of symmetric tensors with square-integrable divergence on a domain in any dimension. These subspaces are essentially the symmetric H(div)-Pk…
