Abstract

We propose and analyze a new family of nonconforming finite elements for the three-dimensional quad-curl problem. The proposed finite element spaces are subspaces of $\boldsymbol{H}$(curl), but not of $\boldsymbol{H}$(grad curl), which are different from the existing nonconforming ones [10,12,13]. The well-posedness of the discrete problem is proved and optimal error estimates in discrete $\boldsymbol{H}$(grad curl) norm, $\boldsymbol{H}$(curl) norm and $L^2$ norm are derived. Numerical experiments are provided to illustrate the good performance of the method and confirm our theoretical predictions.
