Description
Summary:In this paper, we are interested in studying a mixed formulation of weak Galerkin type to approach the electric field and a Lagrange multiplier, which are solutions of a problem deriving from Maxwell’s equations. Our numerical scheme is formed with stable finite elements constructed of usual polynomials of degree <i>k</i> for the electric field and of degree <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><mrow><mi>k</mi><mo>+</mo><mn>1</mn></mrow></semantics></math></inline-formula> for the Lagrange multiplier; its consistency and well-posedness are shown. Some optimal error estimates are proven and tested numerically in a bounded subdomain of <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msup><mrow><mi mathvariant="double-struck">R</mi></mrow><mn>2</mn></msup></semantics></math></inline-formula>.
