We discuss the interpretation of the perfectly matched layer (PML) absorbing boundary
condition (ABC) as an analytic continuation of the coordinate space to a complex variables …

Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the Maxwell's equations in the time domain and
discusses boundary conditions, various simplifications, and standard normalizations. The …

While numerically solving a problem initially formulated on an unbounded domain, one
typically truncates this domain, which necessitates setting the artificial boundary conditions …

Perfectly matched layers (PML) are a recent technique for simulating the absorption of
waves in open domains. They have been introduced for electromagnetic waves and …

We consider absorbing layers that are extensions of the PML of Berenger (1994). These will
be constructed both for time problems and for Helmholtz-like equations. We shall consider …

Our modern society relies on electromagnetic devices and systems: television, radio,
internet, microwave ovens, mobile telephones, satellite communication systems, radar …

Extensions of finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) and finite-element time-domain (FETD)
algorithms are reviewed for solving transient Maxwell equations in complex media. Also …

Scattering-based numerical methods are increasingly applied to the numerical simulation of
distributed time-dependent physical systems. These methods, which possess excellent …

This book addresses hybrid simulation of plasmas; it is aimed at developing insight into the
essence of plasma behavior. Major current applications are to astrophysical and space …

Planar photonic crystal waveguide structures have been modelled using the finite-difference-
time-domain method and perfectly matched layers have been employed as boundary …
