Abstract :
Overlapping elements can be used to connect nonconforming meshes in the finite element method (FEM). This approach has been developed in the case of the scalar potential formulation but not in the case of the vector potential formulation. In this paper, we propose to extend the overlapping elements method in this second formulation.
