Abstract :
An useful method to develop div-conforming elements for the Surface Integral Equation is presented. This procedure, throughout the theorem of trace, transforms the Helmholtz decomposition for electromagnetic fields into a Hodge decomposition for the surface currents. Then, a scheme to obtain mixed and/or complete order elements for being used in the Method of Moments is achieved.
