Abstract

In this paper, we first give a quick review of the current status of the invisibility cloak with metamaterials. Then, we focus on the elliptical cloak model and establish its stability. Finally, we develop a discontinuous Galerkin method and demonstrate its effectiveness in reproducing the cloaking phenomena originally simulated by the edge element method.
