主 题:Algebraic topology (co)homology computational electromagnetics cuts
摘 要:Electromagnetic modeling provides an interesting context to present a link between physical phenomena and homology and cohomology *** the past twenty-five years,a considerable effort has been invested by the computational electromagnetics community to develop fast and general techniques for defining *** magneto-quasi-static discrete formulations based on magnetic scalar potential are employed in problems which involve conductive regions with holes,cuts are needed to make the boundary value problem well *** an intimate connection with homology theory has been quickly recognized,heuristic definitions of cuts are surprisingly still dominant in the *** aim of this paper is first to survey several definitions of cuts together with their ***,cuts are defined as generators of the first cohomology group over integers of a finite *** provably general definition has also the virtue of providing an automatic,general and efficient algorithm for the computation of *** counter-examples show that heuristic definitions of cuts should be *** use of cohomology theory is not an option but the invaluable tool expressly needed to solve this problem.
