A means of solving ordinary and partial differential equations. The domain of the problem is broken up into elements, and the solution in each element is expanded in a basis of functions. The Finite Element Method lends itself well to adaptive refinement, irregular geometry, and good error estimates.

Energy conservation in the solution of the Helmholtz equation

Mathematically, you have the Diriclet energy: $$ E = \int (-|\nabla\psi|^2+k^2|\psi|^2-f\psi^*-f^*\psi)d^Dx $$ whose minimisation gives you the Helmholtz equation. The natural energy current would be: …
