A novel high-order time-domain scheme for three-dimensional Maxwell's equations

A novel high-order time-domain scheme with a four-stage optimized symplectic integrator propagator is presented for 3D electromagnetic scattering problems. The scheme is nondissipative and does not require more storage than the classical finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The numerical results show the scheme has better stability and more efficiency than the classical FDTD method. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.link_to_subscribed_fulltex
