Future Work

The simple state translation formulas derived here for the one-dimensional case do not extend simply to higher dimensions. While straightforward extensions to higher dimensions are presumed to exist, a simple and intuitive result such as found here for the 1D case could be more useful for initializing and driving FDTD mesh simulations from a physical point of view. In particular, spatially localized initial conditions and boundary conditions in the DW framework should map to localized counterparts in the FDTD scheme. A generalization of the Toeplitz operator $\mathbf{T}$ having a known closed-form inverse could be useful in higher dimensions.
