When the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used to solve electromagnetic scattering problems in Schwarzschild space-time, the Green functions linking source/observer to every surface element on connection/output boundary must be calculated. When the scatterer is electrically extended, a huge amount of calculation is required due to a large number of surface elements on the connection/output boundary. In this paper, a method for reducing the calculation workload of Green function is proposed. The Taylor approximation is applied for the calculation of Green function. New transport equations are deduced. The numerical results verify the effectiveness of this method.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
