Abstract
This paper present a new a mixed finite element method for the simulation o f magnetostatic problems with highly discontinuous permeability. The method is derived from the well studied mixed formulation for the div-grad system that is known to be accurate for very large discontinuities. The method ro bustness is demonstrated on a test model problem.
