Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) methods have become a cornerstone in the numerical solution of Maxwell’s equations, enabling detailed electromagnetic analysis across a wide range of ...

Think finite difference methods (FDM), finite volume methods (FVM), boundary element methods (BEM), finite element methods (FEM), and many other numerical techniques.

Finite-difference approximations for the first derivative, valid halfway between equidistant gridpoints, are in general much more accurate than the corresponding approximations, which are valid at ...
