Serendipity discrete complexes with enhanced regularity

Abstract: In this work we address the problem of finding serendipity versions of approximate de Rham complexes with enhanced regularity. The starting point is a new abstract construction of general scope which, given three complexes linked by extension and reduction maps, generates a fourth complex with cohomology isomorphic to the former three. This construction is used to devise new serendipity versions of rot-rot and Stokes complexes derived in the Discrete de Rham spirit.
