Two families of mixed finite elements are introduced in order to deal with second order elliptic problems. The asymptotic errors are the same as in the usual Raviart-Thomas-Nedelec spaces, but the new spaces have substantially smaller dimension; this fact should imply a greater computational efficiency, because the discretizations with the new spaces lead to algebraic systems of smaller order.
