Electromagnetic wave propagation and absorption in magnetised plasmas: variational formulations and domain decomposition
ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis , Tome 49 (2015) no. 5, pp. 1239-1260.

We consider a model for the propagation and absorption of electromagnetic waves (in the time-harmonic regime) in a magnetised plasma. We present a rigorous derivation of the model and several boundary conditions modelling wave injection into the plasma. Then we propose several variational formulations, mixed and non-mixed, and prove their well-posedness thanks to a theorem by Sébelin et al. Finally, we propose a non-overlapping domain decomposition framework, show its well-posedness and equivalence with the one-domain formulation. These results appear strongly linked to the spectral properties of the plasma dielectric tensor.
