@article{Fuentes_Valdez_Botello_2018, title={A Numerical Solution for the Time Variant Maxwell Equations using a Discontinuous Galerkin Method}, volume={9}, url={https://ijcopi.org/ojs/article/view/76}, abstractNote={<p>In this work a parallel scheme to solve the dynamic Maxwell’s equations is presented, in order to simulate an electromagnetic wave in a two-dimensional domain composed of distinct dielectric materials and subject to boundary conditions. In this approach a Discontinuous Galerkin Finite Element Method (DG-FEM) is used to compute the solution over a discretized domain of non-overlapping straight-sided elements. In contrast to continuous Galerkin methods, the core of the simulation relies on a set of elementwise calculations instead of a global processing. These local calculations are computed simultaneously in a shared memory environment with the parallel framework proposed, taking advantage of the discontinuous nature of the solver implemented.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Combinatorial Optimization Problems and Informatics}, author={Fuentes, Juan G. and Valdez, Sergio I. and Botello, Salvador}, year={2018}, month={Jan.}, pages={23–34} }
