Efficient Implementation for the Unconditionally Stable 2-D WLP-FDTD Method

This letter presents an efficient algorithm for the unconditionally stable two-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method with weighted Laguerre polynomials (2-D WLP-FDTD). The huge sparse matrix equation is solved with a factorization-splitting scheme. This leads to much less CPU time and memory storage than those in the conventional implementation. To verify the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method, two numerical examples are given.
