  IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2005, 53 (9), pp.2889 - 2899. This paper presents a finite element method with high spatial order for solving the Maxwell equations in the time domain. In the first part, we provide the mathematical background of the method. Then, we discuss the advantages of the new scheme compared to a classical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Several examples show the advantages of using the new method for different kinds of problems. Comparisons in terms of accuracy and CPU time between this method, the FDTD and the finite-volume time-domain methods are given as well. (10.1109/TAP.2005.856046)

  SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2005, 43, pp.825-859. We study two space-time mesh refinement methods as the one introduced in [F. Collino, T. Fouquet, and P. Joly, Numer. Math., 95 (2003), pp. 197-221].The stability of such methods is guaranteed by construction through the conservation of a discrete energy. In this paper, we show the L 2 convergence of these schemes and provide optimal error estimates. The proof is based on energy techniques and bootstrap arguments. Our results are validated with numerical simulations and compared with results from plane wave analysis [F. Collino, T. Fouquet, and P. Joly, Numer. Math., 95 (2003), pp. 223-251].

• Matching of asymptotic expansions for the wave propagation in media with thin slot

  , 2005. This talk concerns the modelizing of scattering in the harmonic regime in two dimensional domains with thin slots. We use the technique of matching asymptotic expansions to obtain and justify the asymptotic expansion of the solution to any order with respect to the width of the slot.
• Mathematical analysis of the acoustic diffraction by a muffler containing perforated ducts

  Mathematical Models and Methods in Applied Sciences, World Scientific Publishing, 2005, 15 (7), pp.1059-1090. We consider the three-dimensional scalar problem of acoustic propagation in a muffler. We develop and analyze a Fredholm-type formulation for a stationary fluid in the timeharmonic setting. We prove a homogenization result for a muffler containing periodically perforated ducts. Essentially, the perforated boundaries become completely transparent when the period of perforations, which is assumed to be of the same order as the size of perforations, tends to zero. We also derive a homogenized impedance condition when the perforated duct is coated by an absorbing material. We present numerical examples in two dimensions, obtained from coupling finite elements in the muffler with modal decompositions in the inlet and outlet ducts, which demonstrate the limiting validity of the theoretical results. © World Scientific Publishing Company.

• Perfectly matched layers for time-harmonic acoustics in the presence of a uniform flow
  
  • Bécache Eliane

  , 2005, pp.35. This paper is devoted to the resolution of the time-harmonic linearized Galbrun's equation, which models, via a mixed Lagrangian-Eulerian representation, the propagation of acoustic and hydrodynamic perturbations in a given flow of a compressible fluid. We consider here the case of a uniform subsonic flow in an infinite, two-dimensional duct. Using a limiting amplitude process, we characterize the outgoing solution radiated by a compactly supported source. Then, we propose a Fredholm formulation with perfectly matched absorbing layers for approximating this outgoing solution. The convergence of the approximated solution to the exact one is proved, and error estimates with respect to the parameters of the absorbing layers are derived. Several significant numerical examples are included.
• Singular electromagnetic fields: Inductive approach [Singularités électromagnétiques: Une approche inductive]

  • Garcia Emmanuelle
  Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Académie des sciences (Paris), 2005, 341 (10), pp.605-610. In a non-convex polyhedral domain, we describe the local trace (i.e. defined on a face) of the normal derivative of an L2 function, with L2 Laplacian. We then provide generalized integration by parts formulae for the Laplace, divergence and curl operators. Finally, these results allow us to split electromagnetic fields into regular and singular parts, which can be characterized. © 2005 Académie des sciences. Published by Elsevier SAS.
