  • Abstract
    In this paper we construct discrete spaces for fields whose curl or div vanishes but for which one cannot find potentials. In electromagnetism such fields appear when the problem domain is not topologically trivial. The discrete spaces are constructed with Whitney elements in simplicial meshes
