Isogeometric Analysis for Electromagnetic Problems

Annalisa Buffa, Rafael Vazquez Hernandez

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) is a novel discretization method, introduced by Hughes , which is based on nonuniform rational B-splines (NURBS). Among other features, IGA uses directly the geometry description coming from computer-aided design software withou ...
