Some unconditionally stable time stepping methods for the 3-D Maxwell’s equations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Almost all the difficulties that arise in the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations are due to material interfaces. In case that their geometrical features are much smaller than a typical wave length, one would like to use small space steps with large time steps. The first time stepping method which combines a very low cost per time step with unconditional stability was the ADI-FDTD method introduced in 1999. The present discussion starts with this method, and with an even more recent Crank-Nicolson-based split step method with similar properties. We then explore how these methods can be made even more efficient by combining them with techniques that increase their temporal accuracies.

The new implicit finite difference scheme for two-sided space-time fractional partial differential equation
Fractional order partial differential equations are generalizations of classical partial differential equations. Increasingly, these models are used in applications such as fluid flow, finance and others. In this paper we examine some practical numerical methods to solve a class of initial- boundary value fractional partial differential equations with variable coefficients on a finite domain. S...
متن کاملOption pricing using TR-BDF2 time stepping method
The Trapezoidal Rule with second order Backward Difference Formula (TR-BDF2) time stepping method was applied to the Black-Scholes PDE for option pricing. It is proved that TR-BDF2 time stepping method is unconditionally stable, and compared to the usual Crank-Nicolson time stepping method, the TR-BDF2 shows fewer oscillations when computing the derivatives of the solution, which are important ...
متن کاملWeakly Conditionally Stable and Uncon- Ditionally Stable Fdtd Schemes for 3d Maxwell’s Equations
To overcome the Courant limit on the time step size of the conventional finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, some weakly conditionally stable and unconditionally stable FDTD methods have been developed recently. To analyze the relations between these methods theoretically, they are all viewed as approximations of the conventional FDTD scheme in present discussion. The errors between the...
متن کاملUnconditionally energy stable time stepping scheme for Cahn-Morral equation: Application to multi-component spinodal decomposition and optimal space tiling
An unconditionally energy stable time stepping scheme is introduced to solve CahnMorral-like equations in the present study. It is constructed based on the combination of David Eyre’s time stepping scheme and Schur complement approach. Although the presented method is general and independent to the choice of homogeneous free energy density function term, logarithmic and polynomial energy functi...
متن کاملA time - stepping method for sti + multibody dynamics with contact and friction ‡ 3
We de8ne a time-stepping procedure to integrate the equations of motion of sti+ multibody dynamics with contact and friction. The friction and non-interpenetration constraints are modelled by complemen9 tarity equations. Sti+ness is accommodated by a technique motivated by a linearly implicit Euler method. We show that the main subproblem, a linear complementarity problem, is consistent for a s...
