Abstract

This paper develops an adaptive edge finite element method for a Maxwell interface problem: \( {\mathbf{curl}}\mu ^{-1} {\mathbf{curl}}u_\delta +\delta \varepsilon u_\delta =f, \) where \(\delta >0\) is allowed to degenerate to zero. A residual-based a posteriori error estimator is analyzed, with \(\delta \)-uniform lower and (global and local) upper error bounds. \(\delta \)-uniform convergence and optimality of the adaptive algorithm are also established. Numerical results are also presented.
