“…Dielectric models of permittivity are typically implemented in the FD-TD [10] method by using in Ampere's Law, @D @t ¼ r  H, the constitutive relation D = 0 1 E + P, where E and P are respectively the electric and induced polarization fields. In the case 0 < a 6 1, b = 1, one approach is to determine P through an auxiliary fractional differential equation that is forced by the electric field, E, i.e., s a D a t P þ P ¼ 0 ð s À 1 ÞE, where D a t is the fractional time derivative of order a, and previous works have done so for the Debye (a = 1) [11] and Cole-Cole (0 < a < 1) [12] dielectric models. In the case of the H-N model, 0 < a, b < 1, this fractional differential equation is formally a fractional pseudo-differential equation ðs a D a t þ 1Þ b P ¼ 0 ð s À 1 ÞE, which cannot be incorporated into the FD-TD method in a straightforward manner.…”
