AbstractIn this paper we present a fully discrete A-ø finite element method to solve Maxwell’s equations with a nonlinear degenerate boundary condition, which represents a generalization of the classical Silver-Müller condition for a non-perfect conductor. The relationship between the normal components of the electric field E and the magnetic field H obeys a power-law nonlinearity of the type H x n = n x (|E x n|α-1E x n) with α ∈ (0,1]. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the proposed A-ø scheme and derive the error estimates. Finally, we present some numerical experiments to verify the theoretical result.

AbstractIn this paper, a nonconforming mixed finite element method (FEM) is presented to approximate time-dependent Maxwell's equations in a three-dimensional bounded domain with absorbing boundary conditions (ABC). By employing traditional variational formula, instead of adding penalty terms, we show that the discrete scheme is robust. Meanwhile, with the help of the element's typical properties and derivative transfer skills, the convergence analysis and error estimates for semidiscrete and backward Euler fully-discrete schemes are given, respectively. Numerical tests show the validity of the proposed method.
