TLDR
A systematic procedure is presented which, starting from well-understood differential complexes such as the de Rham complex, derives new complexes and deduces the properties of the new complexes from the old, and shows that the new complex has closed ranges and satisfies a Hodge decomposition, Poincare type inequalities, well-posed Hodge-Laplacian boundary value problems, regular decomposition and compactness properties on general Lipschitz domains.
Abstract
This paper is concerned with the derivation and properties of differential complexes arising from a variety of problems in differential equations, with applications in continuum mechanics, relativity, and other fields We present a systematic procedure which, starting from well-understood differential complexes such as the de Rham complex, derives new complexes and deduces the properties of the new complexes from the old We relate the cohomology of the output complex to that of the input complexes and show that the new complex has closed ranges, and, consequently, satisfies a Hodge decomposition, Poincare-type inequalities, well-posed Hodge–Laplacian boundary value problems, regular decomposition, and compactness properties on general Lipschitz domains

A family of finite element Stokes complexes in three dimensions.

TL;DR: It is shown that the new elements lead to convergent algorithms for solving a gradcurl model problem as well as solving the Stokes system with precise divergence-free condition and the validity of the algorithms is demonstrated by numerical experiments.

A discrete elasticity complex on three-dimensional Alfeld splits.

TL;DR: This work constructs conforming finite element elasticity complexes on the Alfeld splits of tetrahedra based on an algebraic machinery that derives the elasticity complex from de~Rham complexes, and smoother finite element differential forms.

Finite element exterior calculus, homological techniques, and applications

TL;DR: Finite element exterior calculus as mentioned in this paper is an approach to the design and understand- ing of finite element discretizations for a wide variety of systems of partial differential equations, which brings to bear tools from differential geometry, algebraic topology, and homological algebra to develop discretiza- tions which are compatible with the geometric, topological and algebraic structures which underlie well-posedness of the PDE problem being solved.

Finite elements in computational electromagnetism

TL;DR: In this paper, finite element Galerkin schemes for a number of linear model problems in electromagnetism were discussed, and the finite element schemes were introduced as discrete differential forms, matching the coordinate-independent statement of Maxwell's equations in the calculus of differential forms.
