A recurring theme is the formulation of and algorithms for the problem of making branch cuts for computing magnetic scalar potentials and eddy currents.
Also, 3D-Transient Magnetic analysis with and without massive conductors for arbitrary time varying current sources is available using the magnetic vector potential and electric scalar potential approach.
