A dual finite element complex on the barycentric refinement
[Un complexe dual d'éléments finis sur le raffinement barycentrique]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 340 (2005) no. 6, pp. 461-464.

Un maillage simplicial sur une surface orientée bidimensionnelle donne lieu à un complexe X d'espaces d'éléments finis centré sur l'espace de Raviart–Thomas de champs de vecteurs à divergence conforme et naturellement isomorphe au complexe des cochaînes simpliciales. Sur le raffinement barycentrique d'un tel maillage, nous construisons des espaces d'éléments finis formant un complexe Y, centré sur des champs de vecteurs à rotationnel conforme, naturellement isomorphe au complexe des chaînes simpliciales sur le maillage de départ et tel que Y2i soit en dualité L2 avec Xi. En termes de formes différentielles, on obtient un analogue de la dualité de Hodge pour les éléments finis.

A simplicial mesh on an oriented two-dimensional surface gives rise to a complex X of finite element spaces centered on divergence conforming Raviart–Thomas vector fields and naturally isomorphic to the simplicial cochain complex. On the barycentric refinement of such a mesh, we construct finite element spaces forming a complex Y, centered around curl conforming vector fields, naturally isomorphic to the simplicial chain complex on the original mesh and such that Y2i is in L2 duality with Xi. In terms of differential forms this provides a finite element analogue of Hodge duality.
