We present a family of stable rectangular mixed finite elements for plane elasticity. Each member of the family consists of a space of piecewise polynomials discretizing the space of symmetric tensor fields in which the stress field is sought, and another to discretize the space of vector fields in which the displacement is sought. These may be viewed as analogues in the case of rectangular meshes of mixed finite elements recently proposed for triangular meshes. As for the triangular case the elements are closely related to a discrete version of the elasticity differential complex.

A discretization scheme based on exponential fitting mixed finite elements is developed for the quasi-hydrodynamic (or nonlinear drift–diffusion) model for semiconductors. The diffusion terms are nonlinear and of degenerate type. The presented two-dimensional scheme maintains the good features already shown by the mixed finite elements methods in the discretization of the standard isothermal drift–diffusion equations (mainly, current conservation and good approximation of sharp shapes). Moreover, it deals with the possible formation of vacuum sets. Several numerical tests show the robustness of the method and illustrate the most important novelties of the model.
