“…The VEM introduced in [12] as a generalization of FEM which is characterized by the capability of dealing with very general polygonal/polyhedral meshes, including hanging nodes and nonconvex elements (see [10,7,13,15,19,20,26,27,30,32,33,37] and refereneces therein). The VEM also permits to easily implement highly regular conforming discrete spaces [18,22] which make the method very feasible to solve various fourth-order problems [8,35,14,34,36].…”
