TL;DR: A time domain finite element method for the approximate solution of Maxwell’s equations with weak formulation for the electric and magnetic fields with appropriate initial and boundary conditions is derived.
Abstract: In this paper, we discuss a time domain finite element method for the approximate solution of Maxwell's equations. A weak formulation is derived for the electric and magnetic fields with appropriate initial and boundary conditions, and the problem is discretized both in space and time. In space, Nedelec curl-conforming and Raviart-Thomas div-conforming finite elements are used to discretize the electric and magnetic fields, respectively. The backward Euler and symplectic schemes are applied to discretize the problem in time. For this system, we prove an error estimate. In addition, computational experiments are presented to validate the method, the electric and magnetic fields are visualized. The method also allows treating complex geometries of various physical systems coupled to electromagnetic fields in 3D.

TL;DR: A novel BCG-like approach, the quasi-minimal residual (QMR) method, which overcomes the problems of BCG is presented and how BCG iterates can be recovered stably from the QMR process is shown.
Abstract: The biconjugate gradient (BCG) method is the "natural" generalization of the classical conjugate gradient algorithm for Hermitian positive definite matrices to general non-Hermitian linear systems. Unfortunately, the original BCG algorithm is susceptible to possible breakdowns and numerical instabilities. In this paper, we present a novel BCG-like approach, the quasi-minimal residual (QMR) method, which overcomes the problems of BCG. An implementation of QMR based on a look-ahead version of the nonsymmetric Lanczos algorithm is proposed. It is shown how BCG iterates can be recovered stably from the QMR process. Some further properties of the QMR approach are given and an error bound is presented. Finally, numerical experiments are reported.
