Abstract: In the present paper we construct Virtual Element Spaces that are H(mdiv)-conforming and -conforming on general polygonal and polyhedral elements; these spaces can be interpreted as a generalization of well known Finite Elements. We moreover present the basic tools needed to make use of these spaces in the approximation of partial differential equations. Finally, we discuss the construction of exact sequences of VEM spaces.


The virtual element methods (VEM) are a variant of the classical Lagrange finite element methods to accommodate the use of polygonal and polyhedral elements. The authors present the \(H(\mathrm{div})\)-conforming and the \(H(\mathbf{curl})\)-conforming spaces for polygonal elements, and corresponding ones for polyhedral elements. Then they recall the \(H^1\)-conforming and \(L^2\)-conforming spaces and discuss the possibility of having exact sequences of VEM spaces.
