Claim Text:
1. A machine implemented method comprising: computing, by a machine having a processor system including one or more processors and a memory system, numerical values for a set of parameters that extremize an action integral, the set of parameters are parameters of a parameterized electromagnetic potential and an electromagnetic field associated with the parameterized electromagnetic potential, the computing of the numerical values for the set of parameters that extremize the action integral is performed, therein numerically solving for the parameterized electromagnetic potential by computing the numerical values of the parameters, instead of solving Euler-Lagrange equations for the electromagnetic potential in at least part of a region associated with the action integral and instead of solving Euler-Lagrange equations for the electromagnetic fields in at least part of a region associated with the action integral, the set of parameters, computed by the machine, extremizing an action integral, the action integral being an integral of an electromagnetic Lagrangian; and computing, by the machine, the electromagnetic field based on the set of parameters that extremize the action integral.
