In particular we regard partial tangential traces, i.e., we look only on a subset $\\Gamma$ of the boundary $\\partial\\Omega$. We assume both $\\Omega$ and $\\Gamma$ to be strongly Lipschitz. We define the space of all $\\mathrm{H}(\\operatorname{curl},\\Omega)$ fields that possess a $\\mathrm{L}^{2}$ tangential trace in a weak sense and show that the set of all smooth fields is dense in that space, which is a generalization of \\cite{BeBeCoDa97}. This is especially important for Maxwell's equation with mixed boundary condition as we answer the open problem by Weiss and Staffans in \\cite[Sec.~5]{WeSt13} for strongly Lipschitz pairs.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-09-26T14:53:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "46E35", "35Q61" ], "keywords": [ "weak equals strong l2 regularity", "lipschitz domains", "regard partial tangential traces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
