A simplicial mesh on an oriented two-dimensional surface gives rise to a complex 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 , centered around curl conforming vector fields, naturally isomorphic to the simplicial chain complex on the original mesh and such that is in duality with . In terms of differential forms this provides a finite element analogue of Hodge duality.
Un maillage simplicial sur une surface orientée bidimensionnelle donne lieu à un complexe 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 , centré sur des champs de vecteurs à rotationnel conforme, naturellement isomorphe au complexe des chaînes simpliciales sur le maillage de départ et tel que soit en dualité avec . En termes de formes différentielles, on obtient un analogue de la dualité de Hodge pour les éléments finis.
