Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze a finite element method to solve the eddy currents model in a bounded conductor domain. In particular we study a weak formulation in terms of the magnetic field. In order to impose suitable boundary conditions from a physical point of view, we introduce a Lagrange multiplier defined on the boundary and study the resulting mixed formulation by using classical techniques. © 2002 Académie des sciences/Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS.
