In this article, the authors present two families of non-conforming finite elements, built on tetrahedrons or on cubes, which are respectively conforming in the spacesH(curl) and H(div).
Abstract
We present here some new families of non conforming finite elements in ?3. These two families of finite elements, built on tetrahedrons or on cubes are respectively conforming in the spacesH(curl) andH(div). We give some applications of these elements for the approximation of Maxwell's equations and equations of elasticity.

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.

On the existence, uniqueness and approximation of saddle-point problems arising from lagrangian multipliers

Franco Brezzi
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a fitting for hose end fittings that is suitable for use in conjunction with a cross-linked polyethylene hose or pipe, where a body incorporating a nipple adapted for insertion in a pipe end and a clamping ring normally retained on the body and adapted for clamping action about the outer surface of said pipe end is described.
