contents We demonstrate that we can carry over the strategy of Finite Element Exterior Calculus (FEEC) to Summation-by-Parts (SBP) Finite Difference (FD) methods to achieve divergence- and curl-free discretizations. This is not obvious at first sight, as for SBP-FD no basis functions are known, but only values and derivatives at points. The key is a remarkable analytic relationship that enables us to construct compatible operators using integral and nodal degrees of freedom. Pre-existing SBP-FD matrix operators can then be used to obtain nodal values from the integral degrees of freedom to derive a scheme with the desired properties.
