So we've been having a look at the current implementation of Raviart-Thomas and Nedelec. It has become clear that the current implementation

  • has issues with high-order, that have to do with how we choose our basis/prebasis when computing the moments.
  • has issues related to scaling in mixed formulations.
  • is outright wrong when using high-order approximations for the geometry.
  • is very hard to read, modify and extend.

Moreover, there has been interest lately in implementing more types of moment-based discretisations like Crouzeix-Raviart.

We believe the best way to solve all these issues at once is to create some extendable machinery to easily create moment-based FEs.

TODOs:

  • Create the moment-based machinery
  • Create the pullback machinery Pullbacks #1067
  • Replicate RT and ND in 2D/3D with oriented meshes
  • Replicate RT and ND in 2D/3D with non-oriented meshes
  • Benchmark against current implementations
  • Change of basis needs to be transposed and inverted on pushforward.

New RefFEs:

  • Crouzeix-Raviart
  • Hellan-Herrmann-Jhonson
  • Mardal-Tai-Winther
  • Arnold-Winther

Other: Polynomial bases

The solution to the first issue requires extending Jacobi-type polynomial bases. Although it could be done blindly, I think we could try to merge a lot of code together. In the future we might want to have even more basis of polynomials, which would require a lot of copied code.

shouldn't we name Crouziex-Raviart reffename: crouziex_raviart = CrouziexRaviart() for clarity and consistency with raviart_thomas = RaviartThomas() ?

In the literature, people just refer to it as "cr" just like "bdm". I would suggest that we should name "raviart_thomas" as "RT" instead, which is how people refer to it in the literature and probably modify "cr" to "CR" and "bdm" to "BDM".

I prefer longer names. CR, RT, ... could mean anything. If you start abbreviating you end up with fortran77 codes...
If a user doesn't know that CR means Crouziex-Raviart, maybe they should not be using it.

Also: If you don't know what Raviart-Thomas is, you can google it. Going the other direction is not as easy.

FEEC 0-form with moment DOFs (integral of scalar trace over faces).

Modal/moment variant of lagrangian/serendipity/bezier/modalC0
it didn't make sense to use linear combination of nodes as DOFs of a
lagrangian reference FE

I was initially reluctant to implement this for non scalar valued bases,
but then I realized that `MonomialBasis` always implemented `get_orders`
for tensor-valued bases, so I updated the doc in function.
