Among the major applications of discrete exterior calculus (in the sense of Hirani et al) are discretization of the Hodge-Laplace operator and various related problems. However, convergence issues for those problems are not completely resolved; as far as we are aware, there is no proof of convergence except for the Poisson equation in two dimensions, which is immediate because the discrete problem is identical to the one that arises from affine finite elements. Moreover, even in two dimensions, there have been some puzzling numerical experiments reported in the literature, apparently suggesting that there is convergence without consistency.
