Abstract

A new numerical method for computing the divergence-free part of the solution of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations is studied in this paper. It is based on a discretization that uses the locally divergence-free Crouzeix-Raviart nonconforming P vector fields and includes a consistency term involving the jumps of the vector fields across element boundaries. Optimal convergence rates (up to an arbitrary positive ε) in both the energy norm and the L norm are established on graded meshes. The theoretical results are confirmed by numerical experiments. © 2006 American Mathematical Society. 1 2
