An HDG method for Maxwell equations in heterogeneous media
Abstract:
We analyze a hybridizable discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) method for the time harmonic Maxwell equations arising from modeling photovoltaic solar cells. The problem is set in an inhomogeneous domain with a polyhedral connected boundary and the divergence-free condition is imposed using a Lagrange multiplier. We prove the HDG scheme is well-posed up to some frequencies and derive a stability estimate. Moreover, we prove that the method is optimal, that is, the L2-norm of the error of the approximation in both, the electric and magnetic fields, are of order h^{k+1}, where h is the meshize and k the polynomial degree of the local approximation spaces. Numerical examples are shown to validate the theory.
