Stability and Convergence Analysis of a Domain Decomposition FE/FD Method for Maxwell's Equations in the Time Domain

• Stability and convergence analyses for the domain decomposition finite element/finite difference (FE/FD) method are presented. The analyses are developed for a semi-discrete finite element scheme for time-dependent Maxwell's equations. The explicit finite element schemes in different settings of the spatial domain are constructed and a domain decomposition algorithm is formulated. Several numerical examples validate convergence rates obtained in the theoretical studies.
