contents In this paper, we present a new polygonal finite element method, called the Zipped Finite Element Method, for star-shaped polygons. The proposed approach constructs high-order shape functions as linear combinations of standard finite element basis functions defined on a local trivial sub-triangulation of each element. This refinement is used solely for the construction of the shape functions and does not affect the final number of degrees of freedom. The resulting finite element space includes polynomials of the desired order and preserves conformity across elements. Consequently, the method inherits the convergence properties of the finite element framework under suitable mesh assumptions. Numerical experiments confirm the expected rates of convergence.
