Abstract
During the last decade, tremendous advances have been observed in the broad field of numerical modelling for geo-electromagnetic applications. This trend received support due to increasing industrial needs, mainly caused by hydrocarbon and ore exploration industry. On the other hand, the increasing reliability and accuracy of data acquisition techniques further spurs this development. In this review, we will focus on advances and challenges in numerical modelling in geo-electromagnetics. We review recent developments in the discrete solution of the 3-D induction problem in the time and frequency domains. Particularly, advantages and disadvantages of the common numerical techniques for solving partial differential equations such as the Finite Difference and Finite Element methods will be considered.

Three-dimensional adaptive higher order finite element simulation for geo-electromagnetics—a marine CSEM example

TL;DR: A new 3-D vector finite element code is presented and its strength is demonstrated by modelling a realistic marine CSEM scenario which shows that seafloor topography gives an important response which needs to be reproduced by numerical modelling to avoid the misinterpretation of measurements.

Numerical solution of initial boundary value problems involving maxwell's equations in isotropic media

Abstract: Maxwell's equations are replaced by a set of finite difference equations. It is shown that if one chooses the field points appropriately, the set of finite difference equations is applicable for a boundary condition involving perfectly conducting surfaces. An example is given of the scattering of an electromagnetic pulse by a perfectly conducting cylinder.

A 2dvEv- bit distributed algorithm for the directed Euler trail problem

TL;DR: The algorithm can be used as a building block for solving other distributed graph problems, and can be slightly modified to run on a strongly-connected diagraph for generating the existent Euler trail or to report that no Euler trails exist.
