Title:                Hodge decomposition finite element method for the 3D quad-curl problem

Abstract:         In this talk, we present a finite element method for the quad-curl equation in three dimensions. Using the Hodge decomposition for divergence-free fields, the fourth-order problem is reformulated as three standard second-order saddle point systems. Furthermore, the Hodge decomposition approach allows for the finite element method to handle domains with general topology. Analysis and numerical results are presented using a variety of domains with different topological properties
