Abstract
A numerical method incorporating a combination of a difference scheme and several uniform and nonuniform quadrature rules is presented. The method is designed to solve sizeβstructured population equations with linear growth rate and nonlinear fertility and mortality rates. A detailed analysis of the global discretization error is carried out. Examples with known exact solutions have been solved numerically using the proposed method. The computations show that the global error is of third order as predicted by the theory. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 19: 1β21, 2003

The explicit fourth-order staggered finite-difference time-domain scheme, previously proposed for a Cartesian grid, is extended to Maxwell's equations in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system and applied to electromagnetic wave problems. A simple technique is also presented for generating orth
