Analysis of a Weak Galerkin Mixed Formulation for Modified Maxwell’s Equations

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 polynom...

description 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.
