Analysis of a time-domain finite element method for 3-D Maxwells equations in dispersive media
We consider the time dependent Maxwells equations in dispersive media on a bounded domain in three-dimensional space. A fully discrete finite element scheme is developed to approximate the electric field equation derived from the Maxwells equations. Optimal energy-norm error estimates are proved for Ndlec curl-conforming edge elements. This is the first finite element error analysis for Maxwells equations in dispersive media.
