Abstract: In this paper, some new unconditionally stable numerical schemes are constructed for the solution of Maxwell|s equations. We show how the new methods fit into the series of unconditionally stable methods that have been developed recently. We test the methods on a simple 2D numerical example.

Keywords: alternating direction implicit method; ADI method; finite difference time domain method; FDTD method; Maxwell|s equations; operator splitting; unconditional stability.
