Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to present an experimental convergence study of several high order curl-conforming finite elements. Degrees of freedom are first mathematically defined in order to interpolate directly a set of analytical functions. The convergence is then analyzed on these functions before being compared with two- and three-dimensional finite element EM field computations
