The Nodal Basis of $C^m-P(3,k)$ and $C^m-P(4,k)$ Finite Elements on Tetrahedral and 4D Simplicial Grids
Let $C^m-P(n,k)$ stand for the space of globally $C^m,$ $m≥1$ and locally piecewise n-dimensional polynomials of degree k on n-dimensional simplicial grids. We construct bases of $C^m-P(3,k), k≥2^3 m+1$ and $C^m-P(4,k), k≥2^4 m+1$ finite elements on 3D tetrahedral and 4D simplicial grids, respectively, and prove the uni-solvency and the $C^m$ continuity of the finite element spaces $C^m-P(3,k)$ and $C^m-P(4,k).$
