We describe algorithms for finding harmonic cochains, an essential ingredient for solving elliptic partial differential equations in exterior calculus. Harmonic cochains are also useful in computational topology and computer graphics. We focus on finding harmonic cochains cohomologous to a given cocycle. Amongst other things, this allows localization near topological features of interest. We derive a weighted least squares method by proving a discrete Hodge-deRham theorem on the isomorphism between the space of harmonic cochains and cohomology. The solution obtained either satisfies the Whitney form finite element exterior calculus equations or the discrete exterior calculus equations for harmonic cochains, depending on the discrete Hodge star used.
