✦ Synopsis

An improved version of the stable FEM-FDTD hybrid method [T. Rylander and A. Bondeson, Comput. Phys. Commun. 125, 75 (2000)] for Maxwell's equations is presented. The new formulation has a modified time-stepping scheme and is rigorously proven to be stable for time steps up to the stability limit for the FDTD. The new scheme gives less reflection at the boundary between the structured and unstructured grids than the original formulation. The hybrid method is compared to the FDTD, with staircasing for scattering from a conducting sphere. The discretization errors of the hybrid show quadratic dependence on mesh size, while the scaling is less clear for the FDTD. The FDTD gives errors that are 5-60 times higher than that of the hybrid, depending on resolution and staircasing strategy.

We consider a model explicit fourth-order staggered finite-difference method for the hyperbolic Maxwell's equations. Appropriate fourth-order accurate extrapolation and one-sided difference operators are derived in order to complete the scheme near metal boundaries and dielectric interfaces. An eige

In the literature there is growing evidence of instabilities in standard time-stepping schemes to solve boundary integral elastodynamic models. 1-3 However, there has been no theory to support scientists and engineers in assessing the stability of their boundary element algorithms or to help them wi
