Discontinuous Galerkin discretizations of Optimized Schwarz methods for solving the time-harmonic Maxwell equations

چکیده
We show in this paper how to properly discretize optimized Schwarz methods for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations using a discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. Due to the multiple traces between elements in the DG formulation, it is not clear a priori how the more sophisticated transmission conditions in optimized Schwarz methods should be discretized, and the most natural approach does not lead at convergence of the Schwarz method to the mono-domain DG discretization, which implies that for such discretizations, the DG error estimates do not hold when the Schwarz method has converged. We present an alternative discretization of the transmission conditions in the framework of a DG weak formulation, and prove that for this discretization the multidomain and mono-domain solutions for the Maxwell’s equations are the same. We illustrate our results with several numerical experiments of propagation problems in homogeneous and heterogeneous media.

Resolution of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations using discontinuous Galerkin methods and domain decomposition algorithms
We present numerical results relative to the resolution of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations discretized by discontinuous Galerkin methods. First, a numerical study of the convergence of discontinuous Galerkin methods which compares different strategies proposed in the literature for the elliptic Maxwell equations, is performed in the two-dimensional case. We also introduce a Schwarz-type dom...
متن کاملOptimized Schwarz Methods for Maxwell’s Equations with Non-zero Electric Conductivity
The study of optimized Schwarz methods for Maxwell’s equations started with the Helmholtz equation, see [2, 3, 4, 11]. For the rot-rot formulation of Maxwell’s equations, optimized Schwarz methods were developed in [1], and for the more general form in [9, 10]. An entire hierarchy of families of optimized Schwarz methods was analyzed in [8], see also [5] for discontinuous Galerkin discretizatio...
متن کاملDG discretization of optimized Schwarz methods for Maxwell's equations
In the last decades, Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods have seen rapid growth and are widely used in various application domains (see [13] for an historical introduction). This is due to their main advantage of combining the best of finite element and finite volume methods. For the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, once the problem is discretized with a DG method, finding robust solvers is a d...
