Abstract: In this paper, a method to develop a hierarchy of explicit
recursion formulas for numerical simulation in an
irregular grid for scalar wave equations is presented and its accuracy
is illustrated via 2-D and 1-D models. Approaches to
develop the stable formulas which are of 2M-order accuracy in both time
and space with M being a positive integer for regular
grids are discussed and illustrated by constructing the second order (M
= 1) and the fourth order (M = 2) recursion formulas.
Keywords: wave equation; numerical simulation; explicit recursion
formula; finite element method
