However, while it is important to maintain tangential continuity of electric and magnetic fields at the interface between different dielectrics, this requirement is not met precisely within discrete space. As a result, approximations can exhibit inaccuracies and potentially fail to fully capture the underlying physical phenomena. To alleviate these issues, we propose an imposition of tangential continuity of the magnetic field within the minimizing functional, thereby ensuring adherence to interface conditions between two dielectric layers.

In contrast, RNNs offer an alternative by employing a random structure with random coefficients, only solving for the output layer. We allow for the application of numerical analysis principles by using RNNs as trial functions and piecewise Lagrange polynomials as test functions. The article covers the construction and properties of the RNN basis, the definition and solution of fractional boundary value problems, and the implementation of the RNN Petrov–Galerkin method. We derive the stiffness matrix and solve it using least squares. Error analysis shows that the method meets the requirements of the Lax–Milgram lemma along with a Ceá inequality, ensuring optimal error estimates, depending on the regularity of the exact solution.
