Finite Formulation of the Electromagnetic Field
By
, Vol. 32, 1-44, 2001
Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present an approach to electromagnetic field simulation based on the systematic use of the global (i.e. integral) quantities. In this approach, the equations of electromagnetism are obtained directly in a finite form starting from experimental laws without resortingto the differential formulation. This finite formulation is the natural extension of the network theory to electromagnetic field and it is suitable for computational electromagnetics.
