The method, originally developed by math- ematicians and used for boundary value problems in physies [see, ex. Refs. (1 3)], was introduced into the electromagnetic (EM) community and further developed by Pregla et al* * and other researchers. Although the method of lines has become one of the standard tools for solving practical, complex electromagnetic field problems, the available litera- ture has failed to supply the reader with implementation ready equations and introductory material to a new beginner. Hence. there is vet to be an introdue~ tory monograph to initiate a beginner to the method. The anly boak? on MOL is not geured toward FM community and the formulation of MOL is therefore diflerent from the modern approach developed by Pregla er ul, The oaly introductory chapter! for the EM community is advaticed because if isis peared fowards experts. In this paper, « simple introduction that breaks MOL down into implementation ready equations is presented and illustrated with examples. General background The method of lines is regarded as a special finite difference method but more effective with respect to accuracy and computational time than the regular finite difference method. It basically invokes discretising given dillerential equation in one or wo dimensions while using analytical solution in. the remeining direction. MOL has the merits of both the finite uilference method nd analytical method: it does not yield spurious modes nor have the problem of ‘relative convergence’ Besides, the method of lines has the following properties that justify its use (2) Computational efficiency: the semianalytical chazacter of the formulation leads to a simple and compact algorithm, which yields accurate results twtr!
