Abstract: For mixed 3D finite element meshes (meshes that contain cubes and tetrahedra) pyramids are very convenient because they have both square and triangular faces and can therefore be used in implementing conformal transitions between regions that contain cubes and regions that contain tetrahedra. However, pyramids are rarely used, because the speci cation of basis functions for them is known to be problematic. Of specific importance it the development of Lagrangian basis functions for pyramids,... (Update)
