In this report, after pedagogical mathematical insight into basic notions of numerical analysis for di erential equations, more speci c Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is introduced. Afterwards, the DG method is combined with a fourth-order staggered Leap-Frog (LF4) scheme to be applied to the solution of the Maxwell equations wavepropagation problem. Stability analysis of the resulting scheme is performed and some peculiarities related with the choice of basis functions in the DG method are stressed. Key-words: High-order time integration schemes, Discontinuous Galerkin method, staggered Leap-Frog scheme, Maxwell equations. ∗ [email protected] in ria -0 04 24 56 0, v er si on 1 16 O ct 2 00 9 Schémas saute-mouton d'ordre élevé combinée à une méthode Galerkin discontinue pour la résolution numérique des équations de Maxwell Résumé : Dans ce rapport, aprés un aperçu pédagogique des notions de base de l'analyse numérique des équations di érentielles, on étudie plus précisément une méthode Galerkin discontinue combinée à un schéma saute-mouton d'ordre 4 pour la résolution des équations de Maxwell.

High-Order Leap-Frog Based Discontinuous Galerkin Method for the Time-Domain Maxwell Equations on Non-Conforming Simplicial Meshes
A high-order leap-frog based non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin timedomain method for solving Maxwell’s equations is introduced and analyzed. The proposed method combines a centered approximation for the evaluation of fluxes at the interface between neighboring elements, with a N th-order leap-frog time scheme. Moreover, the interpolation degree is defined at the element level and the mesh ...
متن کاملA non-conforming discontinuous Galerkin method for solving Maxwell's equations
This paper reviews the main features of a high-order nondissipative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method recently investigated in [1]-[3] for solving Maxwell’s equations on non-conforming simplex meshes. The proposed method combines a centered approximation for the numerical fluxes at inter element boundaries, with either a secondorder or a fourth-order leap-frog time integration scheme. Moreover...
متن کاملExplicit local time-stepping methods for time-dependent wave propagation
Semi-discrete Galerkin formulations of transient wave equations, either with conforming or discontinuous Galerkin finite element discretizations, typically lead to large systems of ordinary differential equations. When explicit time integration is used, the time-step is constrained by the smallest elements in the mesh for numerical stability, possibly a high price to pay. To overcome that overl...
متن کاملExplicit local time-stepping methods for Maxwell's equations
Explicit local time-stepping methods are derived for the time dependent Maxwell equations in conducting and non-conducting media. By using smaller time steps precisely where smaller elements in the mesh are located, these methods overcome the bottleneck caused by local mesh refinement in explicit time integrators. When combined with a finite element discretization in space with an essentially d...
متن کاملConvergence and stability of a high-order leap-frog based discontinuous Galerkin method for the Maxwell equations on non-conforming meshes
In this work, we discuss the formulation, stability, convergence and numerical validation of a high-order leap-frog based non-dissipative discontinuous Galerkin time-domain (DGTD) method for solving Maxwell’s equations on non-conforming simplicial meshes. This DGTD method makes use of a nodal polynomial interpolation method for the approximation of the electromagnetic field within a simplex, an...
