  • Abstract
    The usefulness of second-order functional derivatives for resolving convergence properties in adaptive finite-element electromagnetics is investigated. Second-order criteria are proposed to assess the convergence of the global solution for arbitrary discretizations of scalar Helmholtz systems. Effective convergence criteria are introduced and evaluated for some practical applications
