Composite basis functions for pyramidal elements on the spaces $H^1(\Omega)$, $H(\mathrm{curl},\Omega)$, $H(\mathrm{div},\Omega)$ and $L^2(\Omega)$ are presented. In particular, we construct the lowest-order composite pyramidal elements and…

Using the language of finite element exterior calculus, we define two families of $H^1$-conforming finite element spaces over pyramids with a parallelogram base. The first family has matching polynomial traces with tensor product elements…
The stability, robustness, accuracy, and efficiency of space-time finite element methods crucially depend on the choice of approximation spaces for test and trial functions. This is especially true for high-order, mixed finite element…

We develop a family of finite element spaces of differential forms defined on cubical meshes in any number of dimensions. The family contains elements of all polynomial degrees and all form degrees. In two dimensions, these include the…
A unified construction of high order shape functions is given for all four classical energy spaces ($H^1$, $H(\mathrm{curl})$, $H(\mathrm{div})$ and $L^2$) and for elements of "all" shapes (segment, quadrilateral, triangle, hexahedron,…
We study finiteness (and vanishing) properties of the higher order degrees associated to complements of complex affine plane curves with mild singularities at infinity. Our results impose new obstructions on the class of groups that can be…
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…

In this paper, we present explicit expressions for conforming finite element function spaces, basis functions, and degrees of freedom on the pentatope and tetrahedral prism elements. More generally, our objective is to construct finite…
Several smooth finite element de Rham complexes are constructed in three-dimensional space, which yield three families of grad-div conforming finite elements. The simplest element has only 8 degrees of freedom (DOFs) for a tetrahedron and…
We consider the lowest--degree nonconforming finite element methods for the approximation of elliptic problems in high dimensions. The $P_1$--nonconforming polyhedral finite element is introduced for any high dimension. Our finite element…

In this paper, we present a new polygonal finite element method, called the Zipped Finite Element Method, for star-shaped polygons. The proposed approach constructs high-order shape functions as linear combinations of standard finite…
We find the complete rational homology for the finite subset spaces of a $d$-dimensional sphere. We also determine the integral homology in top $d$ degrees and obtain a partial description of it in codimension $d$.
A unified construction of canonical $H^m$-nonconforming finite elements is developed for $n$-dimensional simplices for any $m, n \geq 1$. Consistency with the Morley-Wang-Xu elements [Math. Comp. 82 (2013), pp. 25-43] is maintained when $m…
We develop new elements of harmonic analysis on the complex sphere on the basis of which Bernstein's, Jackson's and Kolmogorov's inequalities are established. We apply these results to get order sharp estimates of $m$-term approximations.…
