A combined wavelet-element free Galerkin method for numerical calculations of electromagnetic fields

A combined wavelet-element free Galerkin (W-EFG) method is proposed for solving electromagnetic (EM) field problems. The bridging scales are used to preserve the consistency and linear independence properties of the entire bases. A detailed description of the development of the discrete model and its numerical implementations is given to facilitate the reader to understand the proposed algorithm. A numerical example to validate the proposed method is also reported.
