Title
Isogeometric methods for computational electromagnetics: B-spline and T-spline discretizations.
Abstract
In this paper we introduce methods for electromagnetic wave propagation, based on splines and on T-splines. We define spline spaces which form a De Rham complex and following the isogeometric paradigm, we map them on domains which are (piecewise) spline or NURBS geometries. We analyze their geometric and topological structure, as related to the connectivity of the underlying mesh, and we present degrees of freedom together with their physical interpretation. The theory is then extended to the case of meshes with T-junctions, leveraging on the recent theory of T-splines. The use of T-splines enhance our spline methods with local refinement capability and numerical tests show the efficiency and the accuracy of the techniques we propose.
