  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel family of nodal boundary elements to be used in the context of the hybrid FEM-BEM method to deal with unbounded static and quasi-static electromagnetic field problems. In this new type of boundary elements the scalar field is developed by means of classical polynomial shape functions of a given order, whereas its normal derivative is developed with lower-order shape functions.
