Abstract

According to Maxwell’s equations, all electromagnetic field problems can be expressed in partial differential equations which are subject to specific boundary conditions. By using Green’s function, the partial differential equations can be transformed into integral equations or differential-integral equations. The analytical solution of these equations can only be obtained in very simple cases. Therefore numerical methods are significant for the solution of practical problems. In numerical solutions the following aspects have to be considered.
