We extend the Hodge decomposition approach for the cavity problem of two-dimensional time harmonic Maxwell's equations to include the impedance boundary condition, with anisotropic electric permittivity and sign changing magnetic permeability. We derive error estimates for a P1 finite element method based on the Hodge decomposition approach and develop a residual type a posteriori error estimator. We show that adaptive mesh refinement leads empirically to smaller errors than uniform mesh refinement for numerical experiments that involve metamaterials and electromagnetic cloaking. The well-posedness of the cavity problem when both electric permittivity and magnetic permeability can change sign is also discussed and verified for the numerical approximation of a flat lens experiment.
We analyze the interplay of the time derivative and the spatial discretization of parabolic initial-boundary value problems. Addressing time-independent and time-dependent spatial discretizations, our focus is on quasi-optimality and best error localization. Best error localization means that the best error over the whole domain is equivalent to an l2-norm of best errors over small subdomains, which ideally are mesh elements. The key tool for quasi-optimality is the inf-sup theory, with a formula for the quasi-optimality constant which is of independent interest.
