Abstract

The multifrontal method is applied for solving a large system of linear equations resulting from the use of the edge‐based finite‐element method (FEM). The finite‐element method combined with the perfectly matched layers (PMLs) is given for the simulation of microwave filters, and the algorithm of the multifrontal method is described in detail. The reflection loss and insertion loss of several filters are analyzed as examples, and the obtained results are compared with those obtained from the literature. In order to demonstrate the efficiency of the multifrontal method, the computational time is compared with that of both the symmetric successive overrelaxation (SSOR) preconditioned conjugate‐gradient (PCG) and conjugate‐gradient methods (CG) for a thick‐iris waveguide bandpass filer. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

## Abstract When solving electromagnetic problems by finite element method, the resulting linear systems are ill‐conditioned when the PML absorbing layers are adopted. Traditional Krylov iterative algorithms usually converge slowly or may even stagnate. In this paper, the combination of the inner–o
