Moment based reffes

[JordiManyer]

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
• Replicate RT and ND in 2D/3D with structured meshes
• Replicate RT and ND in 2D/3D with unstructured meshes
• Benchmark against current implementations

New FEs:

• Implement Crouzeix-Raviart

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.

• Extend Monomial bases to accomodate Jacobi and other types of polynomials
• Benchmark extensively
