Abstract

We consider the time dependent Maxwell's equations in dispersive media on a bounded three-dimensional domain. A semi-discrete standard finite element method and a semi-discrete mixed finite element method are developed and error estimates are provided. We believe this is the first finite element error analysis carried out for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media.
