## Abstract The anisotropic media and active properties of the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbers significantly deteriorate the finite element method (FEM) system condition and as a result, convergence of the iterative solver is substantially slowed down. To address this issue, the symmetric s

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–outer Flexible Generalized Minimum Residual Method (GMRES) and the symmetric successive overrelaxation (SSOR) preconditioning scheme is used to accelerate the iteration for solving a large sparse system of linear equations resulting from the analysis of EM problems by use of edge‐based finite element method (FEM). The numerical results show that tens of times convergence improvement can be achieved compared with the conventional GMRES solver. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
