Approximation of linear force-free fields bounded 3-D domains
We introduce and study some methods and algorithms for approximating linear force-free fields solution of the equation curl B = alpha B in a bounded domain of R-3. Several numerical tests are done in order to study approximation error, compare algorithms, and display some additional properties of force-free fields. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
