The discrete compactness property for anisotropic edge elements on polyhedral domains
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Volume 47 (2013) no. 1, pp. 169-181.

We prove the discrete compactness property of the edge elements of any order on a class of anisotropically refined meshes on polyhedral domains. The meshes, made up of tetrahedra, have been introduced in [Th. Apel and S. Nicaise, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci. 21 (1998) 519-549]. They are appropriately graded near singular corners and edges of the polyhedron.
