 Abbreviated names ABF Orders $$0\leqslant k$$ Reference elements quadrilateral Polynomial set $$\mathcal{Z}^{(0)}_{k} \oplus \mathcal{Z}^{(1)}_{k}$$↓ Show polynomial set definitions ↓ DOFs On each edge: normal integral moments with an order $$k$$ Lagrange space On each face: integral moments with an order $$k$$ Nédélec (first kind) space,integral moments of the divergence with $$x^{k+1}y^q$$ for q=0,1,...,k, and integral moments of the divergence with $$x^qy^{k+1}$$ for q=0,1,...,k Mapping contravariant Piola continuity Components normal to facets are continuous Categories Vector-valued elements, H(div) conforming elements
