TL;DR: A modified set of Maxwell's equations is presented that includes complex coordinate stretching along the three Cartesian coordinates that allow the specification of absorbing boundaries with zero reflection at all angles of incidence and all frequencies.
TL;DR: The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) solution of the Maxwell's equations is a robust and popular computational technique in science and engineering for modeling electromagnetic wave interactions with complex material structures as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD ) solution of Maxwell's equations is a robust and popular computational technique in science and engineering for modeling electromagnetic wave interactions with complex material structures. This article reviews key elements of the foundation of FDTD analysis as well as selected recent and emerging FDTD application areas.

TL;DR: In this article, the alternating direction implicit finite-difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method for a two-dimensional TE wave is extended to a full three-dimensional (3D) wave.
Abstract: We previously introduced the alternating direction implicit finite-difference time domain (ADI-FDTD) method for a two-dimensional TE wave. We analytically and numerically verified that the algorithm of the method is unconditionally stable and free from the Courant-Friedrich-Levy condition restraint. In this paper, we extend this approach to a full three-dimensional (3-D) wave. Numerical formulations of the 3-D ADI-FDTD method are presented and simulation results are compared to those using the conventional 3-D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. We numerically verify that the 3-D ADI-FDTD method is also unconditionally stable and it is more efficient than the conventional 3-D FDTD method in terms of the central processing unit time if the size of the local minimum cell in the computational domain is much smaller than the other cells and the wavelength.
TL;DR: A new discretization scheme for Maxwell equations in two space dimension based on the use of bivariate B-splines spaces suitably adapted to electromagnetics and provides regular discrete solutions of Maxwell equations.
