TL;DR: In this article, the authors present two families of non-conforming finite elements, built on tetrahedrons or on cubes, which are respectively conforming in the spacesH(curl) and H(div).
Abstract: We present here some new families of non conforming finite elements in ?3. These two families of finite elements, built on tetrahedrons or on cubes are respectively conforming in the spacesH(curl) andH(div). We give some applications of these elements for the approximation of Maxwell's equations and equations of elasticity.

TL;DR: In this article, a new finite element method is presented that features the ability to include in the finite element space knowledge about the partial differential equation being solved, which can therefore be more efficient than the usual finite element methods.
Abstract: A new finite element method is presented that features the ability to include in the finite element space knowledge about the partial differential equation being solved This new method can therefore be more efficient than the usual finite element methods An additional feature of the partition-of-unity method is that finite element spaces of any desired regularity can be constructed very easily This paper includes a convergence proof of this method and illustrates its efficiency by an application to the Helmholtz equation for high wave numbers The basic estimates for a posteriori error estimation for this new method are also proved © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd

TL;DR: In this article, a self-adaptive mesh scheme is presented in the context of the quasi-static and full-wave analysis of general anisotropic multiconductor arbitrary shaped waveguiding structures.
Abstract: This Key Note presents a summary of the development of the Finite Element Method in the field of Electromagnet ic Engineering, together with a description of several contributions of the authors to the Finite Element Method and its application to the solution of electromagnetic problems. First, a self-adaptive mesh scheme is presented in the context of the quasi-static and full-wave analysis of general anisotropic multiconductor arbitrary shaped waveguiding structures. A comparison between two a posteriori error estimates is done. The first one is based on the complete residual of the differential equations defining the problem. The second one is based on a recovery or smoothing technique of the electromagnetic field. Next, an implementation of the first family of Nedelec's curl-conforming elements done by the authors is outlined. Its features are highlighted and compared with other curl-conforming elements. A presentation of an iterative procedure using a numerically exact radiation condition for the analysis of open (scattering and radiation) problems follows. Other contributions of the authors, like the use of wavelet like basis functions and an implementation of a Time Domain Finite Element Method in the context of two-dimensional scattering problems are only mentioned due to the lack of space.
