Abstract

In this paper, we study the exterior boundary value problems of the Darwinmodel to the Maxwell's equations. The variational formulation is establishedand the existence and uniqueness is proved. We use the infinite element methodto solve the problem, only a small amount of computational work is needed.Numerical examples are given as well as a proof of convergence.
