Abstract

We propose a new numerical approach for two-dimensional Maxwell's equations that is based on the Hodge decomposition for divergencefree vector fields. In this approach an approximate solution for Maxwell's equations can be obtained by solving standard second order scalar elliptic boundary value problems. This new approach is illustrated by a P finite element method. © 2011 American Mathematical Society. 1
