Electrostatic analysis for plane problems with finite formulation

The Finite Formulation is an alternative to the widely used Finite Elements or Edge Elements methods and adopts the global variables as a starting point. The Finite Formulation allows one to straightforwardly deduce the set of algebraic equations. This method has been applied to the solution of plane electrostatic problems on the basis of two different topologies of the primal mesh elements: triangular and quadrilateral. The obtained results in the two cases have been compared each other and also with those from the Finite Elements.
