Weighted Residual Finite Element Method For General Nonhermitian Anisotropic Media

Abstract

The weighted residual meithod is developed here for 3 D electromagnetic problems where the medium is nonhermitian, anisotropic, and lossy. Examples of unsymmetric media include, but are not limited to, gyroelectric, gyromagnetic, g y r o e l e c t r o m a g n e t i c , g y r o e l e c t r o c h i r a l , g y r o m a g n e t o c h i r a l , g y r o e l e c t r o magnetochiral , and media displaying gyroelectromagnet ic-opt ical activity b e h a v i o r .
