8 Curl-Curl Problem We want to solve the equation of the following form with perfectly conducting boundary condition u + αu = f n u = 0 in Ω on Ω where Ω R 2 is a bounded polygonal domain.

9 Curl-Curl Problem We want to solve the equation of the following form with perfectly conducting boundary condition u + αu = f n u = 0 in Ω on Ω where Ω R 2 is a bounded polygonal domain. This problem appears in the semi-discretization of electric fields in the time-harmonic (frequency-domain) Maxwell s equations when α 0, and in the time-dependent (time-domain) Maxwell s equations when α > 0

10 Curl-Curl Problem Define H(curl; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v L 2 (Ω)} H 0 (curl; Ω) = {v H(curl; Ω) : n v Ω = 0}

11 Curl-Curl Problem Define H(curl; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v L 2 (Ω)} H 0 (curl; Ω) = {v H(curl; Ω) : n v Ω = 0} For any v H 0 (curl; Ω), ( u, v) L2 (Ω) + α(u, v) L2 (Ω) = (f, v) L2 (Ω) Weak form: Find u H 0 (curl; Ω) such that ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) v H 0 (curl; Ω) The disadvantage of working with this weak form is that it is non-elliptic.

12 Helmholtz decomposition For any u H 0 (curl; Ω), u = ů + ζ with ů H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω), where H(div 0 ; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v = 0}.

13 Helmholtz decomposition For any u H 0 (curl; Ω), u = ů + ζ with ů H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω), where H(div 0 ; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v = 0}. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let η H0(Ω), 1 then v = η H 0 (curl; Ω), and ( u, ( η)) + α(u, η) =(f, η)

14 Helmholtz decomposition For any u H 0 (curl; Ω), u = ů + ζ with ů H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω), where H(div 0 ; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v = 0}. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let η H0(Ω), 1 then v = η H 0 (curl; Ω), and ( u, ( η)) + α(u, η) =(f, η) α(ů + ζ, η) =(f, η)

15 Helmholtz decomposition For any u H 0 (curl; Ω), u = ů + ζ with ů H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω), where H(div 0 ; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v = 0}. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let η H0(Ω), 1 then v = η H 0 (curl; Ω), and ( u, ( η)) + α(u, η) =(f, η) α(ů + ζ, η) =(f, η) α( ů, η) + α( ζ, η) =(f, η)

16 Helmholtz decomposition So ζ H 1 0(Ω) satisfies α( ζ, η) = (f, η) η H 1 0(Ω), which is the variational form of the Poisson problem.

17 Helmholtz decomposition So ζ H 1 0(Ω) satisfies α( ζ, η) = (f, η) η H 1 0(Ω), which is the variational form of the Poisson problem. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let v = v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω), ( u, v) + α(u, v) =(f, v)

18 Helmholtz decomposition So ζ H 1 0(Ω) satisfies α( ζ, η) = (f, η) η H 1 0(Ω), which is the variational form of the Poisson problem. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let v = v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω), ( u, v) + α(u, v) =(f, v) ( (ů + ζ), v) + α(ů + ζ, v) =(f, v)

19 Helmholtz decomposition So ζ H 1 0(Ω) satisfies α( ζ, η) = (f, η) η H 1 0(Ω), which is the variational form of the Poisson problem. (Weak form) ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) Let v = v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω), ( u, v) + α(u, v) =(f, v) ( (ů + ζ), v) + α(ů + ζ, v) =(f, v) ( ů, v) + α(ů, v) =(f, v)

20 Reduced Curl-Curl Problem (RCCP) Hence ů satisfies the reduced curl-curl problem (RCCP) Find ů H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω) such that ( ů, v) + α(ů, v) = (f, v) v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω)

22 Reduced Curl-Curl Problem (RCCP) Therefore, we can focus on the reduced curl-curl problem. Advantage: RCCP behaves like an elliptic problem, which greatly simplifies the analysis. Disadvantage: It is difficult to construct finite element subspaces for H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω). This difficulty can be overcome by nonconforming methods. S.C.Brenner, F. Li, and L.-Y. Sung. 2007, 2008

23 Reduced Curl-Curl Problem (RCCP) Therefore, we can focus on the reduced curl-curl problem. Advantage: RCCP behaves like an elliptic problem, which greatly simplifies the analysis. Disadvantage: It is difficult to construct finite element subspaces for H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω). Observation: The zero divergence condition in the RCCP leads to a larger condition number for the discrete problem (like a 4 th order problem).

24 Curl-Curl and Grad-Div Problem (CCGD) Define H(div; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v L 2 (Ω)}

25 Curl-Curl and Grad-Div Problem (CCGD) Define H(div; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v L 2 (Ω)} Find u H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω) such that ( u, v) + γ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω) where α R and γ > 0 are constants, f [L 2 (Ω)] 2.

26 Curl-Curl and Grad-Div Problem (CCGD) Define H(div; Ω) = {v [L 2 (Ω)] 2 : v L 2 (Ω)} Find u H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω) such that ( u, v) + γ( u, v) + α(u, v) = (f, v) v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω) When f = 0, the solution u of CCGD, if exists, belongs to the space H(div 0 ; Ω), and it is also the solution of the non-elliptic curl-curl problem.

27 Some History The elliptic curl-curl and grad-div problem was discretized by H 1 conforming nodal finite elements. J.L. Coulomb

28 Some History The elliptic curl-curl and grad-div problem was discretized by H 1 conforming nodal finite elements. J.L. Coulomb The space [H 1 (Ω)] 2 [H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω)] turns out to be a proper closed subspace of H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω). Therefore any H 1 conforming finite element method for CCGD problem must fail if the solution u does not belong to [H 1 (Ω)] 2, which happens when Ω is non-convex. M. Birman and M. Solomyak M. Costabel

29 Some History Even worse, the solutions obtained by H 1 conforming methods in such situations converge to the wrong solution (the projection of u in [H 1 (Ω)] 2 [H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω)]).

30 Some History Even worse, the solutions obtained by H 1 conforming methods in such situations converge to the wrong solution (the projection of u in [H 1 (Ω)] 2 [H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω)]). Because of this difficulty, the non-elliptic curl-curl problem is usually solved directly using H(curl) conforming finite elements. J.C. Nédélec. 1980, 1986.

31 Our Goal: Solve the elliptic CCGD problem by nonconforming finite element methods. The finite element space V h [H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω)].

32 Well-Posedness of CCGD When α > 0, f [L 2 (Ω)] 2, the CCGD problem has a unique solution in H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω). (Riesz Representation Theorem)

33 Well-Posedness of CCGD When α > 0, f [L 2 (Ω)] 2, the CCGD problem has a unique solution in H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω). (Riesz Representation Theorem) When α 0, the CCGD problem is well-posed as long as α λ γ,j, where 0 λ γ,1 λ γ,2 are the eigenvalues defined by the following eigenproblem: ( w, v) + γ( w, v) = λ γ,j (w, v) (Fredholm theory) v H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω)

34 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD The regularity of the solution of CCGD problem is closely related to the regularity of the Laplace operator with homogeneous Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions. P. Grisvard. 1985, M. Dauge S.A. Nazarov and B.A. Plamenevsky

35 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD For simplicity, we assume Ω is simply connected. For u H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω), recall Helmholtz decomposition, u = ů + ζ where ů H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω).

36 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD For simplicity, we assume Ω is simply connected. For u H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div; Ω), recall Helmholtz decomposition, u = ů + ζ where ů H 0 (curl; Ω) H(div 0 ; Ω) and ζ H 1 0(Ω). ů = 0 ů = ψ for some ψ H 1 (Ω) Therefore u = ψ + ζ

37 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD If we apply to both sides of u = ψ + ζ, u = ( ψ) + ( ζ) u = ζ

38 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD If we apply to both sides of u = ψ + ζ, u = ( ψ) + ( ζ) u = ζ So the function ζ H0(Ω) 1 satisfies the following Dirichlet boundary value problem: ζ = u in Ω, ζ = 0 on Ω.

39 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD If we apply to both sides of u = ψ + ζ, u = ( ψ) + ( ζ) u = ψ

40 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD If we apply to both sides of u = ψ + ζ, u = ( ψ) + ( ζ) u = ψ Then ψ H 1 (Ω) satisfies the following Neumann boundary value problem: ψ = u in Ω, ψ n = 0 on Ω.

41 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD u = u R + u S, where u R [H 2 ε (Ω)] 2 is the regular part,

42 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD u = u R + u S, where u R [H 2 ε (Ω)] 2 is the regular part, and u S is supported near the corners c l (1 l L) of Ω.

44 Elliptic Regularity of CCGD u = u R + u S, where u R [H 2 ε (Ω)] 2 is the regular part, and u S is supported near the corners c l (1 l L) of Ω. j N j(π/ω l ) (0,2)\{1} u S = ν l,j r j(π/ω l) 1 l [ sin ( j(π/ω l ) 1 ) ] θ l cos ( j(π/ω l ) 1 ) θ l. where ν l,j are constants, (r l, θ l ) are the polar coordinates at c l such that the two edges at c l are given by θ l = 0, ω l. Near the corners c l where ω l > π, the singular part 2 u S / H 2 (Ω), therefore the triangulation needs to be graded near such corners.

45 Graded Triangulation T h To recover optimal a priori error estimates in the presence of singularities, graded meshes around the corners c 1,..., c L of Ω are needed.

46 Graded Triangulation T h To recover optimal a priori error estimates in the presence of singularities, graded meshes around the corners c 1,..., c L of Ω are needed. [ L ] h T = diam T h c l c(t ) 1 µ l l=1 c(t ) : the centroid of T = hφ µ (T )

47 Graded Triangulation T h To recover optimal a priori error estimates in the presence of singularities, graded meshes around the corners c 1,..., c L of Ω are needed. [ L ] h T = diam T h c l c(t ) 1 µ l l=1 = hφ µ (T ) The grading parameters µ 1,..., µ L are chosen according to µ l = 1 if ω l π 2 µ l < π 2ω l if ω l > π 2

48 Graded Triangulation T h The graded meshes on an L-shaped domain are depicted in the figures below where the grading parameter equals 1/3 at the re-entrant corner and 1 at all the other corners.
