Abstract

We give theoretical and computational overview of numerical analysis of the finite element methods for electromagnetics. In particular, theoretical comments on the edge and face elements, frequently employed in the finite element discretizations, are given. Moreover, we present some iteration methods which are effective to solve discrete equations arising from finite element methods.
