Abstract

This chapter addresses the topological structure of steady, anisotropic, inhomogeneous diffusion problems. Differential operators are represented by sparse incidence matrices, while weighted mass matrices play the role of metric-dependent Hodge matrices. The resulting mixed formulation is point-wise divergence-free if the right hand side function f = 0. The method is inf-sup stable; no stabilization is required and the method displays optimal convergence on orthogonal and deformed grids.
