In this paper, we investigate the use of ultra weak variational formulation to solve a wave scattering problem in near field optics. In order to capture the sub-scale features of waves, we utilize ...

A numerical error is either of two kinds of error in a calculation. The first (a rounding error) is caused by the finite precision of computations involving floating ...

I would like to address the following question: When you use a computer to solve a problem (I would call this a numerical calculation), is it an experiment or theory? Or is it something else? It's a ...
