Abstract
We introduce and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin FEM/BEM method for a time-harmonic eddy current problem written in terms of the magnetic field. We use standard finite elements on a partition of the conductor domain coupled with continuous boundary elements on the transmission interface. We prove quasi-optimal error estimates in the energy norm.
