Summary:
This paper presents an alternative implementation of the three-dimensional (3-D) alternating direction implicit finite-difference time-domain (ADI-FDTD) method. The method has fewer for-loops than the conventional ADIFDTD method. Furthermore, it involves the same total flops count like conventional ADI-FDTD, which is less than both Crank-Nicolson direct-splitting (CNDS) and Crank-Nicolson-cycle sweep-uniform (CNCSU) methods. The formulation of the present method with fewer forloops is described and detailed comparison among various methods in flops and loops count is discussed.
