Abstarct: Recent research has shown that mixed variational problems, and their numerical approximation by mixed methods, could be most completely understood using the ideas and tools of Hilbert complexes. This led to the development of the Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC) for a large class of linear elliptic problems. In this thesis, we develop another distinct extension to the FEEC, namely to parabolic and hyperbolic evolution systems, allowing for the treatment of geometric and other evolution problems. Our approach is to combine the recent work on the FEEC for elliptic problems with a classical approach to solving evolution problems via semi-discrete finite element methods, by viewing solutions to the evolution problem as lying in time-parameterized Hilbert spaces (or Bochner spaces).
