Simulating backward wave propagation in metamaterial with radial basis functions

Abstract In this paper we revisit the radial basis function (RBF) meshless method and implement it to solve the time-dependent Maxwell's equations in metamaterials. Numerical simulations of the backward wave propagation phenomena are successfully achieved using this RBF method with properly chosen free parameters in the RBFs.
