Review text

The paper makes a stability analysis on the finite-differences time domain method (FDTD) when extended to incorporate local space-time adaptive mesh refinement (AMR). The authors investigate the stability of a range of interpolation schemes using Gustafsson-Kreiss-Sundstrom-Trefethen (GKS-T) mode and reflection/transmission coefficients analysis on the infinite domain with a single interface. The authors also apply matrix stability analysis for more complicated computational domains containing multiple grid refinement interfaces.
