Abstract

In this paper, we develop an interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method for the time-dependent Maxwell's equations in cold plasma. Both semi and fully discrete DG schemes are constructed, and optimal error estimates in the energy norm are proved. To our best knowledge, this is the first error analysis carried out for the DG method for Maxwell's equations in dispersive media.
