Abstract: | In this paper, we develop a multi-symplectic wavelet collocation method for
three-dimensional (3-D) Maxwell's equations. For the multi-symplectic formulation
of the equations, wavelet collocation method based on autocorrelation functions
is applied for spatial discretization and appropriate symplectic scheme is employed
for time integration. Theoretical analysis shows that the proposed method is
multi-symplectic, unconditionally stable and energy-preserving under periodic
boundary conditions. The numerical dispersion relation is investigated. Combined
with splitting scheme, an explicit splitting symplectic wavelet collocation method
is also constructed. Numerical experiments illustrate that the proposed methods are
efficient, have high spatial accuracy and can preserve energy conservation laws exactly. |
