Abstract:ABSTRACT.In this work, we show that the wave equation solution using a conventional finite-difference scheme, derived commonly by the Taylor series approach, can be derived directly from the rapid expansion method (REM). Then, we show that if we use more terms from the REM one obtain a more accurate time integration of the wave field. Consequently, we have demonstrated that the REM is more accurate than the usual finite-difference schemes and it provides a wave equation solution which allows us to march in lar… Show more
