چکیده
1. SOBOLEV SPACES AND WEAK FORMULATIONS Let Ω be a bounded Lipschitz domain in R. We introduce the Sobolev spaces H(curl ; Ω) = {v ∈ L(Ω), curlv ∈ L(Ω)}, H(div; Ω) = {v ∈ L(Ω),div v ∈ L(Ω)} The vector fields (E,H) belong to H(curl ; Ω) while the flux (D,B) in H(div; Ω). We shall use the unified notation H(d; Ω) with d = grad , curl , or div. Note that H(grad ; Ω) is the familiar H(Ω) space. The norm for H(d; Ω) is the graph norm ‖u‖d,Ω := ( ‖u‖ + ‖du‖ )1/2 .

Boundary-element-based Finite Element Methods for Helmholtz and Maxwell Equations on General Polyhedral Meshes
We present new finite element methods for Helmholtz and Maxwell equations for general three-dimensional polyhedral meshes, based on domain decomposition with boundary elements on the surfaces of the polyhedral volume elements. The methods use the lowest-order polynomial spaces and produce sparse, symmetric linear systems despite the use of boundary elements. Moreover, piecewise constant coeffic...

متن کاملMixed E–B Finite Elements for Solving 1-D, 2-D, and 3-D Time-Harmonic Maxwell Curl Equations
Using a unified discretization approach based on differential forms, we describe mixed finite element methods (FEMs) in simplicial grids to solve time harmonic Maxwell curl equations in one-, two-, and three-dimensions. The proposed mixed FEM utilizes the electric field intensity and magnetic flux density as simultaneous state variables. Appropriate elements are used as interpolants for and to ...

We report our recent efforts in developing adaptive finite element methods for solving electromagnetic problems. We shall first introduce the method for the Maxwell cavity problem with discontinuous coefficients. We then consider the eddy current model with voltage excitations for complicated three dimensional structures. Unique continuation on analytic curve and its application to Inverse Prob...
متن کاملFinite Element Methods with Matching and Nonmatching Meshes for Maxwell Equations with Discontinuous Coefficients
We investigate the finite element methods for solving time-dependent Maxwell equations with discontinuous coefficients in general three-dimensional Lipschitz polyhedral domains. Both matching and nonmatching finite element meshes on the interfaces are considered, and optimal error estimates for both cases are obtained. The analysis of the latter case is based on an abstract framework for nested...
متن کاملEdge Element Methods for Maxwell's Equations with Strong Convergence for Gauss' Laws
In this paper we propose and investigate some edge element approximations for three Maxwell systems in three dimensions: the stationary Maxwell equations, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations and the time-dependent Maxwell equations. These approximations have three novel features. First, the resulting discrete edge element systems can be solved by some existing preconditioned solvers with optima...
