Numerical integration for high-order pyramidal finite elements (Q2846145)

This paper is concerned with the study of the accuracy of higher-order conforming pyramidal finite element methods. More precisely, the authors prove that an \(n\)th-order quadrature rule can be used for the integration of bilinear forms involving \(n\)th-order elements without decreasing the overall order of convergence of the method. A unified analysis of the consistency error due to using these quadrature rules for each of the approximation spaces of the discrete de Rham complex is presented.
