High-order mixed current basis functions for electromagnetic scattering of curved surfaces (Q1976422)

The author considers the problem of finding suitable functions to represent electromagnetic fields on or near curved surfaces. He discusses a number of shapes for elements to cover the surface such as curved triangular and curved quadrilaterals and extends the ideas to base functions formed by the tensor product of one-dimensional Jacobian polynomials. Also discussed is the use of Dubiner basis triangles. There are however no actual examples illustrating the use of the ideas presented.
