One key to our proof is to transform the L^2 error estimates into the L^2 estimate of a discrete divergence-free function which belongs to the edge finite element spaces, and then use the approximation of the discrete divergence-free function by the continuous divergence-free function and a duality argument for the continuous divergence-free function. For Nedelec＇s second type elements, we present an optimal convergence estimate which improves the best results available in the literature.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we obtain optimal error estimates in both L^2-norm and H（curl）-norm for the Nedelec edge finite element approximation of the time-harmonic Maxwell＇s equations on a general Lipschitz domain discretized on quasi-uniform meshes. One key to our proof is to transform the L^2 error estimates into the L^2 estimate of a discrete divergence-free function which belongs to the edge finite element spaces, and then use the approximation of the discrete divergence-free function by the continuous divergence-free function and a duality argument for the continuous divergence-free function. For Nedelec＇s second type elements, we present an optimal convergence estimate which improves the best results available in the literature.
