finite element methods; magnetic field; mixed formulations
Abstract :
[en] Mixed formulations of Maxwell's equations are presented and the nature of the matrices appearing in these formulations is discussed. Their indefinite character is discussed. A method for solving these unusual matrices is then developed and applied to a test problem.
