The PDE coefficients are allowed to be piecewise regular and complex-valued; this set-up therefore includes scattering from a PEC obstacle and/or variable real-valued coefficients, with the radiation condition approximated by a perfectly matched layer (PML). In the analysis of the $h$-version of the finite-element method, with fixed polynomial degree $p$, applied to the time-harmonic Maxwell equations, the $\textit{asymptotic regime}$ is when the meshwidth, $h$, is small enough (in a wavenumber-dependent way) that the Galerkin solution is quasioptimal independently of the wavenumber, while the $\textit{preasymptotic regime}$ is the complement of the asymptotic regime. The results of this paper are the first preasymptotic error bounds for the time-harmonic Maxwell equations using first-type N\'ed\'elec elements or higher-than-lowest-order second-type N\'ed\'elec elements. Furthermore, they are the first wavenumber-explicit results, even in the asymptotic regime, for Maxwell scattering problems with a non-empty scatterer.Lire moins >
