Abstract

In this report second and higher order methods (the Yee-method, Summation By Parts methods and Finite Element Methods) for transportation of electromagnetic waves are compared. Tests of accuracy, long time-integration and efficiency are performed. We show that the higher order methods in almost every case outperform the second order methods.
