Abstract

In [23], we, together with our collaborator, proposed a family of $H$(curl$^2$)- conforming elements on both triangular and rectangular meshes. The elements provide a brand new method to solve the quad-curl problem in 2 dimensions. In this paper, we turn our focus to 3 dimensions and construct $H$(curl$^2$)-conforming finite elements on tetrahedral meshes. The newly proposed elements have been proved to have the optimal interpolation error estimate. Having the tetrahedral elements, we can solve the quad-curl problem in any Lipschitz domain by the conforming finite element method. We also provide several numerical examples of using our elements to solve the quad-curl problem. The results of the numerical experiments show the correctness of our elements.
