摘要
In this paper, we analyze the performances of three-dimensional finite element (FE) simulators in handling electromagnetic scattering problems involving metamaterials. It has already been proved that the performances of the FE method are worse than usual, when metamaterials are considered. In this work, we extend our previous analysis by providing some additional results on the precision of the FE solution and on the performances of the iterative and direct solvers typically used with FE simulators.
