Lowest Order Fourier Finite Element Methods to Approximate Hodge Laplacian Problems on Axisymmetric Domains
This repository contains efficient lowest order Fourier finite element methods to approximate the solution of Hodge Laplacian problems on axisymmetric domains.
In [1], a new family of Fourier finite element spaces was constructed by using the lowest order finite element methods. These spaces were used to discretize Hodge Laplacian problems in [2]. This repository contains open-source programs for each of the four problems described as well as some additional programs for the spaces used to construct the new family of spaces.
This repository is written in conjuction with this repository, which contains the higher order Fourier finite element methods for the same problems.
The finite element methods approximate the solution to the following weighted mixed formulation of the abstract Hodge Laplacian.
See the next section for more details.
The four equations corresponding with are as follows:

We let be defined in the following way:
and let be the Hilbert space associated with each,
Furthermore, the grad, curl, and div formulas for the n-th Fourier mode are as follows:
