Abstract
In this paper, we investigate Euler-box scheme for Bridges' multisymplectic form of Maxwell's equations. A new multisymplectic scheme is derived for Maxwell's equations. We prove that it is also a self-adjoint scheme in time direction. The multisymplecticity of composition schemes based on the new scheme is also discussed. Two numerical examples are proposed to indicate that the derived multisymplectic schemes are effective when used to integrate the 2+1 dimensional Maxwell's equations.
