The authors analyze the use of edge finite elements and the multigrid method to approximate the problem of computing a static magnetic field in a cavity. Using a discrete analogue of the second kind Friedrichs' inequality, it is shown that the mixed finite element discrete problem may be reformulated as a symmetric positive definite system. It is shown how the multigrid method may be applied to compute the magnetic vector potential. The difficulty here is that the bilinear forms on different meshes are not related in the standard way. Two different intergrid transfer operators are defined in the paper for the multigrid method. The convergence theory and the numerical tests include both algorithms.
