Abstract

In order to get numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations which plays an important role in the electric-magnetic fields, a new anisotropic nonconforming mixed finite element method is presented. Based on special construction of the element pair and some novel techniques, error estimates of electric and magnetic fields in L 2 norm are obtained under anisotropic meshes. The convergence results demonstrate the validity of the anisotropic nonconforming mixed element method for solving Maxwell’s equations.
