Abstract

Trying to understand the magnetic properties of fractal structures is a new challenge from both the practical and theoretical point of view. In this talk, I present some results for a magnetostatic problem in a 3D “cylindrical” domain of Koch type and in its corresponding prefractal approximating domains. Crucial tools, to prove well-posedness results, are a generalized Stokes formula and the Friedrichs inequality for domains with fractal boundary. We investigate the convergence of the pre-fractal solutions to the limit fractal one. We also consider the numerical approximation of the pre-fractal problems via FEM and we give a priori error estimates. Some numerical simulations are also shown.
