Partially discontinuous nodal finite elements for H(curl) and H(div)
We investigate discretization of H(curl) and H(div) in two and three space dimensions by partially discontinuous nodal finite elements, i.e., vector-valued Lagrange finite elements with discontinuity in certain directions. These spaces can be implemented as a combination of continuous and discontinuous Lagrange elements and fit in de Rham complexes. We construct well-conditioned nodal bases.
