Abstract

The construction of fast iterative solvers for the indefinite time-harmonic Maxwell’s system at mid- to high-frequency is a problem of great current interest. Some of the difficulties that arise are similar to those encountered in the case of the mid- to high-frequency Helmholtz equation. Here we investigate how two-level domain-decomposition preconditioners recently proposed for the Helmholtz equation work in the Maxwell case, both from the theoretical and numerical points of view.
