Makes computer simulations of electricity more accurate.
The finite difference time domain method is one of the most popular methods in computational electromagnetics. This work considers two possible ways of generalising it to a meshless setting by employing local radial basis function interpolation. The resulting methods turn out to be unstable, but can be stabilised by adding properly chosen hyperviscosity terms to the update equations. We demonstrate that the proposed meshless methods are convergent and can enjoy a decreased dispersion anisotropy compared to the finite difference time domain method.
