COMPUTATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE CELL METHOD IN ELECTRODYNAMICS

A desire to unify the mathematical description of many physical theories, such as electrodynamics, mechanics, thermal conduction, has led us to understand that global (=integral) physical variables of each theory can be associated to spatial geometrical elements such as points, lines, surfaces, volumes and temporal geometrical elements such as instant and intervals. This association has led to the building of a space-time classiÞcation diagram of variables and equations of each theory. Moreover, the
