Abstract

Electromagnetic wave propagation close to a material discontinuity is simulated by using summation by part operators of second, fourth and sixth order accuracy. The interface conditions at the discontinuity are imposed by the simultaneous approximation term procedure. Stability is shown and the order of accuracy is verified numerically.
