We consider the construction of rational approximations to given power series whose coefficients are vectors. The approximants are in the form of vector-valued continued fractions which may be used to obtain vector Pade
approximants using recurrence... Read More about Vector continued fraction algorithms..

Thesis
Buchanan, W. J. Analysis of electromagnetic wave propogation using 3D finite-difference time-domain methods with parallel processing. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. Retrieved from http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4022

The 3D Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method simulates structures in the time-domain using a direct form of Maxwell’s curl equations. This method has the advantage over other simulation methods in that it does not use empirical approximations....
